Importance of Senior Grades

<p>I'm really worried because my grades are starting to slip this year. My freshman year I got 4 As (2 honors 2 CP classes) and 1 A- (honors math). My sophomore year I got 4 As (3 honors 1 CP class) and 1 A- (honors english). Junior year, I got 3 As (1 honors, 1 AP, 1 CP), and 2 A-s (honors english and french) and 1 B+ (honors math). This year I'm taking 5 AP classes and currently have A, A-, B+, B+, B. I think I can get one of my B+s to an A or A- definitely but I don't know if I can bring my French and Math grades up past a B+. Even if I get B+s in those classes, though, my GPA will still go up (it has only gone up in 4 yrs). Is it really bad that my grades are dropping?</p>

<p>I’m curious that your school only has you take 5 classes per year. Ours requires 7 and no study halls are offered.</p>

<p>I didn’t include electives- freshman and sophomore year I took art classes as my elective (like pretty much everyone), junior year I took psych AP as my elective, and senior year I’m not taking a science. I also took gym all 4 years, so each year I have 7 classes except without science senior year I have 6. It’s pretty typical for students in my school to have 5-6 “academic” classes each year. I’m pretty sure that at my school you can’t take more than 6 academic classes. I’m sure it differs from school to school.</p>
