DD took a summer class in the summer between 8th and 9th grades, and it is going on her high school transcript, so yes, it counts as high school. Plus, she already had her 8th grade diploma in hand, so she couldn’t consider herself an 8th grader any longer.

Of course, whether colleges care about what you did that summer is up to each college, so if you think it is worth mentioning in an application, then do so.
