Generally, if you were given hs credit for those classes, they are and should be on the transcript. However, where I teach, the classes are on the transcript, but since they were not taken in our building, the GPA doesn’t count, just credit is given.



It is like this at my school as well. It is not uncommon to have these grades on your HS transcript, though whether they are calculated into GPA will vary by school district.



So when they get my transcript with my 8th grade gpa on it, will they recalculate my gpa somehow using just 9th-11th?



Yes, and they will consider midyear grades as well for Regular Decision.
