I am a first year counselor, but I thought I understood that if they took Algebra I in 8th grade it could not be repeated in high school for Math credit it should only be given elective credit and they would therefore need an additional 3 math credits above Algebra I...

Kingfisher counts it as a part of their HS GPA
We give them the option of putting it on their transcript.  If it doesn't go on, then they have to repeat Algebra I in the HS.  If they use it, it's counted into their GPA but not as 1 of the 3 maths they have to take.

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.
