our school only averages grades that are considered academic classes. Yet, in our school, senior could decide whether to take science or not, making it an elective. I decided to take Ap Physics and now i am getting a near C-. I know i know, it is a bad score, but are electives conisdered academic classes even if it is science?
<p>Im just a lil scared that the score will ruin my GPA for 1st semester</p>
<p>bumpppppppp</p>
<p>It probably depends on your school, but I think at my school once you have fulfilled your graduation requirements for a particular area (sciance, math, english, or social studies), any extra courses in those areas are electives. Does this help?</p>
<p>This definitely is specific to your school, so anyone on this board could only speculate.</p>
<p>That said, I would think an extra science still counts as an "academic" course. By "non-academic," I think they mean gym, teacher aide, etc. It seems silly to not count a grade in a cor academic subject just because you don't need that class to graduate.</p>
<p>Anyway, ask your counselor.</p>
