[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a student takes first year of language in MS, does this generally count towards 4 year recommendation? So if they take language their senior year, it would be level 5, but would rather take other classes.[/quote]

Both my kids started foreign language in MS in MCPS and took five years total, stopping after sophomore year to accommodate other AP classes.  Both took the AP test at this point and scored 5s (so did not wait to take AP level class before taking the exam, instead self-studied and took after the 5th year instead).  Both admitted to top 5 schools with none of the traditional hooks.[/quote]

Did their grades in MS foreign language count toward their GPA?  Asking because I have a kid in DLI that does well in all subjects other than the foreign language.  It's been a struggle since program started in first grade.  I don't want kid to start off high school negatively affected by grades in foreign language class from MS - it probably makes more sense to drop out of the DLI program and take the foreign language class in a lower level that would be very easy at this point?
