9th is the last chance to repeat it. He could repeat it in 8th if the grade is a problem.

This is so stupid. What is tab rationale for this policy and has there ever been a coordinated effort to get it changed?

Correct. It's even stated outright in the high school course catalogue.


It does need to be repeated in 9th grade (or MS) retaking later in HS regular rules for repeating classes apply (i.e. both attempts appear on the transcript). But for exact details talk with a HS counselor.

Yes they absolutely do. As we have unfortunately discovered.


Which means you shouldn't push your kid to take a class that will be a reach in MS.

Take the slower paced foreign language class, and don't push for your kid to be placed in an upper level math class unless he can succeed...because those grades will affect their transcript...which is stupid.


Or retake the class Freshman year and the MS grade will not be recorded.

Can that be true?

I had to go peek at sophomore son's Grades and Graduation Credit Report on Edline for the answer. PP is correct, it is just the year that's indicated, not grade level. Of course, it's the same thing for anyone doing the basic math.

How are the middle-school classes which earn high school credit listed on transcripts?
Does it say Algebra I B 7th Grade or just list the year taken?
