[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, they count. Other grades count more, but... Why do you think a kid who gets Bs in 9th is going to miraculously get As in 10th and 11th? 9th grade predicts 10th. There will be improvement, perhaps, but it is the same kid the next year.[/quote] It does happen, and quite frequently at some privates. I have a kid that got a C in 9th grade because he turned in a research paper late, and the school only gave one grade for a class on the transcript for the entire year. There was a serious upward trend from there, which seemed to happen a lot especially with boys. Strong SATs can overcome some of those weaker 9th grades, along with good grades in junior/senior year in tough classes. [/quote]
