[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for your help, OP. How are 9th grade grades weighed? Any forgiveness in the process for a student who makes mistakes in 9th grade, then matures into a great student? I'm a bit worried that the system seems to be set up to reward pre-mature frontal lobe development. I hope I'm wrong.[/quote] Not OP, but YES! there is a degree of 'forgiveness' for a bad Freshman year if the other years are good and test scores solid. My son had a terrible 9th grade and every school we visited said they put far more weight on the trend and would look at a transcript like his and calculate the GPA with and without freshman grades. Just try to have a reason (we moved cross country in middle of 9th because DH lost his job) and make sure the grades are good moving forward. He's attending a SLAC with a less than 15% admit rate and he pulled a 1.8 GPA freshman year.[/quote]
