<p>I'm 15 and a sophomore right now and I think I should repeat my sophomore year of high school at a new private school. My grades are pretty decent. I've managed a 93% and I take all honors classes. I was wondering, if I repeat my sophomore year of high school at a new school does that mean I have to retake all of those classes or can I move on. I especially want to move forward in math because I plan on finishing Calculus III in high school. Thanks</p>
<p>I don’t understand what you mean by repeating sophomore year at your private highschool.</p>
<p>Why on earth would you repeat a grade if you have an A average…</p>
<p>You know you don’t have to repeat a grade if you move right</p>
<p>Yeah, like everyone else, I don’t see why you would repeat that grade…</p>
<p>First, you don’t retake a grade you got an A average in. Second, retaking a grade, by definition, involves retaking classes. So you would have to retake classes- but you can’t (or shouldn’t) since you got As. If you just move on with other classes, you’re in the next grade. I know of one kid at my private school for elementary who was a grade behind because he came in after he took 6th grade, but 6th grade is middle school at that particular school, so he came in in the 6th grade class by choice. He took the 6th grade curriculum- no classes from the 7th grade curriculum. There was also a kid at my high school who was 2 years behind because when he was going to be in 9th grade (he was previously homeschooled), he decided he wanted to apply to my school, which you take the test for in 8th grade (unless you go through the summer round, which is much much harder to get in from). His parents decided to put him in 7th grade so that he could prepare for the test. Basically these are the only reasons I can think of for repeating a grade: failing, coming from homeschool and not being prepared, or a special exception (such as with my private school I went to- that is literally the only case I can think of, no one else did that).</p>
<p>The main is reason is because I want to play a sport for the first time and I want to get ahead on my math sequence </p>
<p>@MrKalen repeating a year won’t help with that</p>
<p>Maybe I didn’t explain my question good enough because it seems as if no one understands what I’m talking about. I Just meant like if I repeat a year at the new school I perhaps I could take junior courses as a soph so my senior year I could just take the classes that I need to take in order to graduate from the school.</p>
<p>Yes that’s common sense</p>
<p>Your idea doesn’t make any sense. Why can’t you play a sport now? Also, I’m not sure what you mean by “getting ahead” in math. Most likely you would take the same sequence of math classes whatever you do, so whether you call yourself a sophomore or a junior next year, you’ll still be in the same math class. I don’t see where you are ahead. If you really want to take calc 3 before you enter college, take summer school or an online course so you can fit in more classes in a single year. Just be aware that you may have difficulty transferring the calc 3 credit, that the grade may become a permanent part of your college record, that it may cost a lot of money, that scheduling may interfere with ECs that are important to you.</p>
<p>You can’t just take junior courses as a sophomore, you’d be considered a junior. I don’t see how that affects your senior year. You don’t seem to grasp what repeating a year means.</p>
<p>This is a weird thread…just do your 4 years and go to college like everyone else. Please. </p>
<p>I don’t get why would someone want to have one more year of high school. Don’t you want to move on in life and get a job? If you want to get ahead in the math sequence, you should have done prepared for this in middle school. It’s too late for that. You can always play a sport next time for the first time, it’s just that you will start later than everybody else. Only people who get straight F’s repeat a year of high school. You don’t want to be that guy.</p>
