I understand that students who took Algebra 1 or Spanish 1 or 2 or French 1 or 2 at Kellogg can receive high school credit for these courses. How does that happen?
Students who took these classes at Kellogg will show them on their Shorecrest transcripts as having been satisfactorily completed, but with no credit. As the student continues in high school, it may be to the student’s advantage to “bring up the credit.” In consultation with his/her counselor, the student and his/her parent apply to have the Kellogg grade and credit brought to the high school transcript. Now the grade received in the Kellogg class will figure into the high school GPA. Unless the student received excellent marks in the Kellogg course, he/she is advised to wait until the junior year to bring up the credit, when the high school GPA has been established and the effect of the Kellogg grade on the GPA is known. (If the Kellogg grade wasn’t so great, it could lower the Shorecrest GPA.) Once on the transcript, the Kellogg grade/credit will not be removed.
