<p>My daughter has never received lower than a 99% quarter grade in her years as a high school student (she will be a senior next year). She has worked diligently to achieve this in her seven AP classes taken so far, but my husband has just been offered a work placement in Cincinnati that would require her to transfer high schools. This poses many problems for her.
First, we fear that the new school's transcript might only report her letter grades, as I know many high schools do, thus showing no distinction between, say, 90% and 100% (she says she would be "OK" with reporting only the letter grade ONLY if the high school's grading scale defined an "A" as a 95% or above; otherwise, she fears, colleges might assume she got a 90%). At this point, there is no discussion about the move, but my daughter says she would be willing to drive to and from school as far as it takes to find high school whose transcript reports only the letter grade on a grading scale with an "A" being designated as a 95% or above.
Secondly, she knows she will lose her position as first in her class because transferred transcripts do not maintain class rank. Is anyone aware of a school in the area that does not report class rank at all?
Thirdly, she wants to make sure to attend a school that would allow her to take seven periods of AP courses.</p>
<p>I'm well aware that this is a very convoluted list of criteria, but my daughter has worked too hard with extracurriculars and academics to see it all disturbed by an inconvenient family situation. Any suggestions of schools that fit any of the above descriptions would be greatly appreciated.</p>
