<p>Hey everyone!
I'm just wondering how schools look at improvement trends for the first semester in a transcript for a new year.</p>
<p>My middle school grades were all C's and D's, averaging me at a 72 (Yeesh. I know)</p>
<p>My 9th grade grades were:
Art: 87
Music: 92
Spanish: 84
Math: 75
English: 85
History: 79
Physics: 86
Average: 82 (2.7) (Electives like art and music are weighted differently)</p>
<p>And now, my current 10th grade grades are as followed:
Math: 84 (approx)
English: 87
Broadcast Media: 88 (The hardest elective my school offers for Sophomores)
Chemistry: 89
Spanish: 93
History: 92
Average: 89 (3.4)</p>
<p>I'm also at a very rigorous private day school that is well known across New England, and is in the Top 50 Best Private Day Schools in the country. I don't know if my school being known for being a good school would count towards anything towards admissions, I'm just wondering if an upward trend would be viewed as positive, or if schools wouldn't care because my upward trend doesn't involve me getting Straight-A's (Although, I do think I'm doing fairly okay in the grand scheme of things)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
