High School Course Completed at Eighth Grade
High school courses completed by students while they are in the eighth grade will not earn high school credit, but they will be included on the student's official transcript and will contribute to the student's cumulative GPA. Successful completion of these courses affords the student the opportunity to enroll in higher level courses in high school. However, graduation requirements are fulfilled only by courses completed in grades 9 through 12.
