Subject: [Counselors] 8th grade Algebra question

 

8th grade Algebra is put on our students transcripts for grad credit,
but it does not count as one of the three required math credits taken
during grades 9-12 for graduation....

My question is:  When you put the 8th grade on the high school
transcript, do you include as part of the High School GPA credit?  Or do
you use pass/fail with no gpa calculation?

Jill, I'm sending out your question and also answering it for others to
see.

 

If the 8th grader is taking a high school course taught by a high school
teacher, Algebra I, you have to put it on the transcript and give the
credit due for taking the class.  Yes, that student still has to take 3
more math classes in high school.  If you put a pass/fail on the
student's transcript that will be added in as a "D" if he/she is an OK
Promise student.
