[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most recent school should have all transcripts from the previous school and can send combined.

My kids were in a Bethesda MD HS and then a California HS - they requested everything, collated it and sent it on.

It happens all the time, it is standard proceedure.[/quote]

I know its fairly common which is why I asked hoping others had experience to share.

It looks like the current school did convert the old school into the new one, but I'm wondering if the requirements/limitations of the first school will be lost. [/quote]

They might be. My kids took honors Algebra in Bethesda but in their new school district there was no Honors, so when they put the final transcript together where "Algebra" is a required course for graduation, they actually removed the "honors" and the GPA bump was lost. It wasn't a big deal, ultimately. They didn't lose any of their other pre-CA bumps because those courses didn't have a similar conflict. The rationale was weak I felt but not worth arguing. One thing that did happen was some of the SSL hours that had transferred across officially, were lost in the final reckoning. If my kids had applied to colleges where SSL was a factor it would have mattered, but they did not and so it didn't.

You basically have to communicate well with both sets of admin and scour the paperwork for any mistakes like this, get them corrected early on, etc. Good luck.[/quote]
