That's not true. Algebra I has no honors version.


Most MCPS kids take it in Middle School, which means the grade doesn’t have to be factored into the HS GPA.

It also makes Sr year easier. It makes no difference to colleges that PE is an unweighted course.

Yes, colleges have their own alchemy for how they weigh grades - and schools.

Yes, it's included in the MCPS GPA. But colleges will often recalculate GPAs, excluding classes like PE and electives.
