<p>Does summer school count gpa?&How many volunteer hours do you need for college?</p>
<p>I am not sure if summer school counts for GPA; if you’re making up school classes, I’m guessing it would but it still depends on your schools’ policy. Also, volunteer hours are not required for college-yes, volunteering is looked upon as a plus by many colleges but it’s not mandatory.</p>
<p>You all ready have 6 threads on this topic. Call your guidance counselor and get the answer directly from the person who knows the answer. </p>
<p>It sounds as though you blew off your summer school class and now you want the people on CC to tell you not to worry about it. In our school district, health is a required class for graduation and it is included in the gpa. It is also on the transcript (including the grade earned in the class).</p>
<p>The timeframe for taking the class is irrelevant. If you took the class during the academic year and did poorly, your grade stands. If you took the class during the summer and you did poorly, your grade stands. It’s the same course and requirement. The only difference is when you took the class. It is still a part of your academic history.</p>

<p>In our HS all classes counted - summer or not.</p>
<p>Is there some reason why you don’t want to ask your GC how they handle it in your own school?</p>
<p>^ He probably wants to tell the GC that he asked around, and no other school counts summer grades, so his shouldn’t either ;)…</p>
<p>NYC public high schools are not yet in session. He’s upset with a bad grade and wants an answer and can’t get one right now.</p>
<p>He has already gotten a couple of very detailed answers an is living in denial. The answer is not going to change.</p>
<p>1.Whether you attend John Dewey, Stuyvestant, Norman Thomas or any other NYC public High school (at every NYC high school in the state) you need health to graduate.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>While it is listed with the physical education courses on your transcript, it is still averaged into your GPA.</p></li>
<li><p>Summer school grades are numerical and they go on your transcript unless you were dropped from summer school. If you had summer school and never attended, meaning 0 days in attended you would have been automatically dropped on July 16. If you attended even one day, you remained on the summer school roster. Even from that point if you were a no show, some teachers give a 2 (which is a failing grade and not factored into your gpa). Some teachers give a 45 (which is a no show grade, but is factored into your gpa). Some teachers give a 50 or 55 which are still failing grades but factored into your transcript.</p></li>
<li><p>What ever grade you got in summer school will roll be placed on your transcritpt within the next few days when ATS changes over to HSST and transcripts are updated.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Please stop asking the same question over and over again because the answer is not going to change.</p>
<p>Principals and administrators report to school on monday. GC will probably pass through by the end of the week to take care of programming issues. Call monday and ask your school. Shockingly the answer will not change from the one I have given you on almost every thread you asked.</p>
