[quote=Anonymous]OP, have you asked this question of the student services office at your child's school? If not, I would schedule an in-person talk right away with the appropriate academic counselor there -- it might be your child's assigned counselor or another person in that office who handles these kinds of academic questions.

They have seen it all and heard it all so this won't be a new question for them. They can give you a bigger picture about how expunging an MS grade will, or won't, affect your child's track of courses in the upcoming years (for instance, how it would affect the progression of classes if that class has to be retaken). We can't sit down with you and look at your child's expected courses for next year and beyond and assess how this one expunged class will affect that.

Regarding the example you use, it seems to me that expunging a B or higher is a risk that could put a lot of pressure on a kid who already did well (yes, a B is doing well) in a challenging course. Expunging a B or B+, for instance, seems to assume that the student [i]will[/i] do better than that next time, and there's no guarantee of that happening.

Anyone looking at the transcript is going to know that this student took this HS-level course [i]in MS [/i]and did well in it at a younger than usual age. That does count for something. Ask the student services counselor about it.[/quote]
