+1. Mine push PE to the senior year for the single purpose of WGPA. They took health during 8th and 9th grade summers so no interruption to summer internship/job at all. Just make sure they select some other challenging electives during senior year as well to demonstrate academic rigor.

This stupid. Colleges exclude electives from GPA. If anything, adding a core subject (extra science or social studies) would risk lowering WGPA and UGPA by adding a life-threatening B.

My kid also did this, though not for gpa purposes. Took an extra unweighted elective of choice in 9th and I figured PE would be a good respite in 11th or 12th anyway.

Yes, I suggested to DD that she keep some easier classes for 12th grade. As it happened, she took both Health classes the summer before 9th grade, to get them out of the way, and it was a better choice, because she ended up taking double period STEM APs that ate up a lot of her schedule.

So it depends what else your child wants to take. Summer classes are an excellent way to get rid of requirements or prerequisites.
