Taking High School Courses in Middle School (Secondary Grading and Reporting)
Includes information on taking high school courses in middle school, as well as expunging grades and grades earned during summer session.
High school credit courses taken in grades 7 and 8 become part of the student’s high school transcript. These courses are included in the calculation of the high school Grade Point Average (GPA) and weighted as such.
Multilingual Learners
English Language Development (ELD) courses in middle school are high school credit courses.
Courses for high school credit taken by middle school students during summer school are included in the calculation of grade point average. See Regulation 2408, Earning High School Credits for procedures for earning standard credit during the summer.
Expunging Courses
Virginia state and FCPS regulations permit families of a middle school student who has completed a high school credit course to have that course expunged from the student’s record. Middle schools need to ensure that families are aware of this option.
Courses taken in the summer session following student promotion from the eighth grade are ineligible for removal from the high school transcript.
