Do courses taken as freshman affect acceptance to some colleges? For instance, if a student is in Elements Math or English I, does that mean they shouldn bother to apply to certain schools?
All courses taken at SBHS will be included on the student’s transcript. Many colleges give students the opportunity to include a written explanation regarding some of the courses they took. Students taking standard or elements-level classes throughout high school should select colleges that they would be academically prepared for. However, students can move up from standard to academic or from academic to honors courses if they meet prerequisites. Students should work with their counselors regarding college planning.
