<p>i live in the state of illinois. can a student register for algebra 1 while in 7 th grade? just curious…</p>
<p>Seriously 7th graders on here is becoming ridiculous. Yes most middle schools will allow 7th graders to test in to algebra.</p>
<p>The normal process is defined by your school district. Have you checked with the middle school?</p>
<p>Many middle schools across the country offer Algebra I. If they also offer Geometry, then it should be possible to do Algebra I in 7th. If they do not, then they should have an outlined process to take Algebra I in 7th followed by Geometry in a nearby high school.</p>
<p>But be careful about HS credit and GPA for accelerated middle school classes. Try to set up the class for pass/fail, because although a B may seem wonderful for a 7th grader, it will lower your HS GPA and stay on your transcript.</p>
<p>Ok, unless I’m mistaken, colleges only see grades for courses you take in high school, the advanced algebra I & geometry classes you take in middle school show up as CR (“credit received”) on your transcript.</p>
<p>can you choose your own courses in middle school?</p>

<p>It would depend on the school district. In Texas, all high school classes required for graduation usually need to be reflected on the final transcript with the grades. In our local schools, the grades are not part of the GPA and rank for high schools but other school districts within Texas also count them towards the GPA and rank.</p>
<p>Of course you can choose your own courses, why wouldn’t you?</p>
<p>I am a rising freshman, and this summer I took Health and PE in virtual school to get the credits out of the way. Just search “Illinois virtual school” in Google.</p>
