[quote=Anonymous]There are very few classes offered in MS that earn HS credits. Usually they are Math and Foreign Language credits. There is no downside to these because these classes are offered to kids who are advanced to begin with in MS. However, if you feel that your child is not going to do great in them because of lack of interest or substandard teaching - just do not take the semester exams. The scores get wiped out. Ask your counselor about it. Doing HS courses in MS means that your child will be placed in more and more advanced classes in HS. Colleges notice that you have taken advanced classes in HS. Remember that when your kid does apply to colleges, they have just started in their Senior year. So, the colleges are seeing the grades of 9th, 10th and 11th grades mainly. If you have done Geometry or Algebra II in MS, you would be doing Calculus by 10th or 11th grade. That is pretty impressive - especially if your grades are good too. So, there are pros too. [/quote]
