Middle School Credits

<p>Hello, when I was in 8th grade I had some pretty atrocious grades which include a C in Algebra 1. I live in the state of texas and attend HISD, I was wondering if these 8th grade classes that gave me high school credit went into my GPA. I have already asked several admins at my school but they give different answers. As far as my high school academics they are pretty solid.</p>

<p>no
you just don’t have to take algebra 1 in hs o.0</p>

<p>The answer may not be so simple.</p>

<p>FWIW, DD2 took Alg 1 and Geometry in MS. They count in her unit count (will have 7 math units at graduation, 5 taken in HS, 2 in MS). Alg 1 was a 7th grade class taught by the MS math teacher. Geometry was taken in 8th grade through HS with a HS math teacher - she got a HS report card for the 1 class. Geometry counts in her HS GPA. </p>

<p>So, as long as you didn’t get a HS report card for the class, no need to stress.</p>

<p>Hmmm, I go to a very nearby school district and this is how it works for us:
4 Years of math required; if you took algebra I in middle school it counts UNLESS you take a math your senior year, and that class will be used in your GPA instead of the middle school class.</p>
