<p>Suppose you got a bad grade at your school so you decided to retake the class at another school, shouldn’t your high
school change your grade to the new grade that you earned? Or is it against the law to change your report card grade?
Also, is it true that colleges don’t look at report cards and only final transcripts?</p>
<p>Not unless the new school has a policy of doing this or said they would do this.</p>
<p>your final transcript would include all your grades, so I don’t understand your second question. Most schools will not remove the grade- both grades will stand on the transcript.</p>
<p>Colleges only look at the transcript, which shows your semester grades.</p>
<p>If you’re retaking the class, then no, they shouldn’t change your transcript. If whatever grade you got at your old school is on your transcript, then it’s staying there :/</p>
<p>But when colleges ask for school report or mid year report, isn’t that your report card…? Which will show the bad grade ?</p>
<p>
No. It’s the school report which looks different from the report card. Again, if the old grade is on your transcript/mid-year report/year-end report/school report (whatever your school calls it/them) colleges will see.</p>
