How are middle school credits incorporated in the Magnet program?
The option about electing to take or drop math and foreign language credits from middle school changes frequently, so check with your guidance counselor to determine the rule for your class. If you have a choice and if you’re striving for high class rank, the trend shows it is better to drop the credits from middle school. If a high class rank is not a priority, neither keeping nor dropping the credits has proved beneficial nor detrimental. The main thing to keep in mind is that the middle school credits count only as a 4.0 and can thus raise or lower your GPA. If your desired GPA is greater than a 4.0, dropping the credits will help your GPA. If you desired GPA is lower than a 4.0, keeping the credits will help you.
