I know the answer is that it depends on your school, but I want to hear response from you guys.

So i took geometry over the summer and got a B both semesters. It was pretty hard because of the workload; you did a year’s math in 6 weeks so a B is pretty impressive.

My school has a 6 class schedule and all of my classes are OK except English 1 honors. It is pretty hard as many people rn have Bs and im no extra ordinary student and I have a B+.

I feel like this can be my first semester grade for freshman year
bio honors A
french A- (my teacher sucks so A- is ok)
English 1 honors B+
PE A+
algebra 2 A
photography A

some people tell me that ur summer school course and grade goes to ur semester grade like the one above. If it didn’t, then I would be having a 3.83 GPA but if it does then 3.7 GPA which is kinda low. My counselor told me that summer school becomes ur 7th class in ur transcript making it count towards Freshman GPA, but when my cousin did summer school Freshman year his summer school grade didn’t count on his transcript so im pretty confused.

Does summer school grade count toward you semester GPA? If so, am i screwed?

You need to ask your guidance counselor. Every HS has a different policy.

@happy1 I did he told me it did but when my cousin got his report card it didnt. Can you tell me your experience?

My expereince doesn’t matter. It is your HS policy that you need to find out about.

Does your cousin go to the same school?

Your guidance counselor’s information is more applicable to your situation than any information we on CC can give you.

@WeLoveLyman yes he does. Ok if it does count is a 3.7 gpa necessarily bad cuz i would’ve had 3.83 gpa without summer school.

A 3.7 is not a bad GPA, but if you’re asking whether it’s sufficient for specific colleges, we’d have to know which colleges you’re interested in.

I can’t answer for your high school, but in DD’s school, yes, it counts on the GPA.
