College admissions don’t look at grades from prior to 9th grade. If you took a “high school requirement” during middle school, it’s likely you took some course successive to that which will demonstrate that the requirement is met, or is irrelevant. This is easy to see with languages. And advanced Latin student may enter 9th grade with a couple of years in Latin. He/she starts with Latin III. In sophomore year, he/she takes AP Latin. Latin I and II never show up on the transcript. But successful completion of AP Latin makes the missing classes irrelevant.
