I am an American student that lived abroad for 5 years and completed my IGCSEs in Year 11 (2018-2019). I did 2 months of A-levels then decided that finishing 12th grade back home in the US would be better for my future. I currently haven’t started 12th grade yet because my mother has to be present to enroll me into school so I’ll probably start school mid- November.

Considering that almost 3 months of school has passed and the semester is almost over, I’ve been thinking about repeating 11th grade because I don’t want to threaten my college prospects because I didn’t have enough time. I honestly don’t really understand how the American high school system works and how I would convert my IGCSE results into whatever grading system is used here. Any advice?
