[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. It’s the MCPS Certificate of Merit, not MD State.

Montgomery County Public Schools Certificate of Merit (CM)

In addition to the Maryland high school diploma, students who meet the following requirements may be awarded the MCPS Certificate of Merit, a diploma endorsement:

a. Advanced Courses

Students must earn at least 12 credits in advanced courses designated by MCPS as applicable to the Certificate of Merit (CM). CM courses contribute to a weighted grade point average only when the course also is identified as Advanced Level (AL). All courses to be counted toward the Certificate of Merit must be taken for a letter grade.

b. Mathematics Requirement

Students must successfully complete and/or receive credit for an MCPS Algebra 2 course.

c. Cumulative Grade Point Average

Students must obtain at least a 3.0 unweighted cumulative grade point average.

It’s unclear whether honors count as “advanced courses.” I guess so, because DD didn’t have 12 APs. Wind Ensemble is indicated on her transcript as ADV. I’m also curious if this is a fairly common endorsement by MCPS, given that so many kids take honors and AP classes.[/quote]

Interesting. I wonder if the requirement for an algebra 2 credit excludes Blair magnet kids from getting this or whether accept magnet precalc in its place as it does cover algebra 2, I think. They have a lot of AL classes[/quote]
