[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The transcript is broke down by grade 7, 8, 9, 10, etc). For grades 6-8 it only lists classes that are meeting a HS requirement. The layout of the middle school and high school grades is identical and in order of grade (eg if your first class you took for HS credit was in sixth grade, the sixth grade section is the first section listed on the transcript).

Everything is identical in appearance to the HS grades except the sections for MS grades are smaller because there are less relevant classes to list.[/quote]

The above is correct for transcripts. It very clearly shows Grade 6, 7, and 8 courses in their own sections, and it lists the MS school name as well as the academic year each grade corresponds with. Then, immediately below are the sections for Grade 9, 10, 11, and 12, using the same format, only there are many more lines in each section because every class is a HS class. [/quote]

Okay, thanks.  So the handful of HS-credit middle school grades are the very first thing the admissions officers see on the transcript?    That's kind of nerve-wracking... feels like it would be hard for them to ignore Bs and Cs there even if they claim that middle school grades don't matter to them. [/quote]

True, but visually the middle school sections are much smaller so it optically is differentiated a bit. Like just glancing at it I can tell it is not the high school section because far fewer classes are listed.

I know that may not feel like consolation, but think of it this way, if MS was hard but HS has solid grades it is a sign of an upward trend with AOs like.[/quote]
