[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI, since this seems to be misunderstood on this thread: when you expunge a middle school grade, you do not have to retake the course. You may choose to, but you don’t have to. [/quote]

So you get the credit (if you pass) but you don't get to see the grade--is this what you mean?  Because you'd need the credit from the class, so just want to make sure we understand this.[/quote]

Colleges will know that means it wasn’t a good grade [/quote]

Colleges are not going to care about any grades from middle school.  Heck, a lot of colleges discount grades from 9th grade when they recompute GPAs.

The bigger issue is that if the grade is poor enough to expunge, the kid will struggle in Algebra II or pre-calc.  I'm not sure that I would place a child in FCPS 6th grade Algebra without also having the kid take Algebra through RSM or AoPS.  [/quote]

I agree with your second part, but I know for fact the colleges care.  It is absolutely a red flag to not have a grade for a math class.  They look very closely at course selection, grades for all high school courses. Expunge at your own risk.  [/quote]

Colleges are aware that tons of kids take algebra before high school, so no, they don't see it as a red flag if there is no grade for algebra on the hs transcript.[/quote]
