<p>Hello I’m a junior in high school and I got really bad grades this year. I totally screwed up my most important year of high school! I moved to a new town about two months ago. My most recent report card had all Fs in ALL my core classes. I don’t think I’ll graduate on time. I’m considering dropping out. There is no way I can make up those terrible grades. Is there any way I can drop out of school and re-enroll next year as a junior?</p>
<p>Well, you could ask your school principal if you could just re enroll in August. But, the failing grades as well as what caused them will still be there. </p>
<p>You have to examine why you are flunking. Then you might (for all I should know) think of the GED or finishing things up online (for all I should know).</p>
<p>The most important thing is that you and you alone, OP…have to really think long and hard about why you are flunking.</p>
<p>Perhaps your previous school was not academically on par to your current school. You may want to consider the option of going down a year and finishing up the year at the sophomore level. Think of the rest of the year as a “catch up year” at the sophomore level and come back strong next year as a junior. Definitely discuss the option with your GC.</p>
<p>I think it would be better to re-enroll somewhere else. Figure out what went wrong and try to start over somewhere else, if you can? Is there a private school nearby 1) that would let you in and 2) that you could afford? (Or, it is common for kids go repeat a grade when they transfer to boarding school.)</p>
<p>Another option is to finish using an on-line high school, such as Indiana University High School. </p>
<p>Or you could do an on-line school for a year and then go back to your own h.s. for your senior year.</p>
<p>I am not understanding this situation. You transferred to a new school in November, the middle of the semester, and two months you have managed to flunk everything without having a clue this was happening?</p>
<p>Have you spoken to your guidance counselor? You need to talk with someone at the school and figure out your options.</p>
<p>You need to look at yourself closely. From another thread you moved to a less challenging HS. You should have shone even more brightly instead of crashing and burning. It seems like you need to figure out why that happened before you decide what you need to do.</p>
