[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We will move to the area this summer. Do middle school kids usually take a foreign language for high school credit? Which level is common when starting high school? Thanks![/quote]

For our MCPS W school feeder, kids used to take 1-3 in middle and start high school at 4. Now they’ve switched to level 1 over two years so it’s 1A-1b-2 and so they start high school now at level 3, which I think is a much better approach. Not all kids start language in 6th grade, but it’s typical. [/quote]

A lot don't. My first started in 7th, my 2nd waited until 9th because she wanted to take a language only offered in HS. Yes, a lot start in 6th too, but I would go so far as to call it typical. Mine took lots of music, stem and art electives in MS. Both went to HS magnets. First is at T15. 2nd still in HS.[/quote]

It’s typical now at my kid’s middle school. It was not during virtual school nor when my 11th grader was there - you had to be recommended back then to take language in 6th grade. With the switch to 1A-1b, you no longer need to be recommended and it’s more widely taken. Though some do wait until 7th (or later), especially those with older siblings who have thought through the progression in HS and prefer not to get to AP before 12th.[/quote]

There are many pathways depending on the kid, school and year. Any clarity on whether the high school credits earned in middle school are accepted by colleges?[/quote]
