[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone expunged C+ or even  B- or  B high school course grades taken in middle school?   I understand that it is FCPS policy that you can expunge high school courses taken in middle school -- you lose the high school credit but can continue on to the next level (to Spanish 2 from Spanish 1, for example) if you earned a C or better.  This is driven by our DD who wants to expunge her middle school Algebra I and Spanish I grades from her high school transcript.  Will it look strange to colleges not to have them on her transcript?  Does it send the wrong message?   She has continued on in 9th grade with Spanish 2 and Geometry and is getting straight As.  Thanks[/quote]

I think your daughter's idea sounds reasonable. In fact, she is learning to explore and possibly execute an option you say FCPS offers (but be sure to understand this option fully prior to execute paperwork).

It's reasonable because courses can be made up during the summer or new one's added to boost GPA. It's reasonable because some colleges and universities even discard 9th grade GPA, hence won't miss the expungement (or count it less). It's reasonable because class ranking is important for some colleges and universities and this will only assist hers (starting with 9th grade).

College acceptance is no game is what she is suggesting. Wisely, it seems to me, she is already taking advantage to know the policies in place by the school system, which will carry forth as closely examining policies and procedures of major jobs in her future.

College placement remains very competitive. Why not take advantage of this FCPS policy? Good luck to your daughter and your family. Carpe Diem.[/quote]
