So I’m a 11th grader and I got a D 68.5 and my teacher wouldn’t give me the 1% and now I’m worried about getting into college next year so what can I do so that I can go to a UC or a Cal state the class is Trigprecalc and I can’t do summer school since it’s not offered.
We need more info to help you.
Why did you get the D?
What courses are available for you make it up?
Can you do summer school at another school?
Were there extenuating circumstances surround the grade (death in the family, messy divorce, health issues causing you to miss a lot of school)?
Please answer the above questions as coherently and calmly as possible. And do not blame your teacher. Maybe she won’t give you the one percent, but you better take responsibility for the other missing 30%.
I got the D it self because she wasn’t and isn’t the greatest teacher and This is the only class I have D in on my transcript. Honestly it’s my fault due to the fact that since I wasn’t comprehending the material although the hours of tutoring. My school and other schools don’t have this class to make up they made into a class Trigprecalc
If I do better 2nd semester will I be able to be A-G ???
If you have taken geometry and algebra 2 (or equivalent integrated math courses) with C or higher grades, then you fulfill the minimum a-g requirement in math.
If you take second semester of the current course and earn a C or higher, it will validate the first semester as a course completed for a-g purposes, but the D will still count in your GPA when UCs and CSUs calculate it from the courses and grades you put into the applications.

The teacher may not be as good as you hope. Presumably others learn in the class passed and even done well with this teacher. Besides, it took several exams and assignments that were done poorly to get the D. As a student, you are expected to learn and perform despite any limitations you perceive in her teaching. You had a textbook, class materials, homework, earlier tests to learn what you needed to know. Saying the teacher was poor is not a winning argument with high school administration or college admissions committees. Instead, start going through the text to review class content and rework problems so you learn how to compute answers. Although your grade was not good, at least do yourself the favor if learning something from this class.
This is exactly correct^^^
You are responsible for your own work, regardless of your teacher. I can’t imagine that the whole class received D’s.
Also, if you hope to get into a 4 year university, please work on your English skills. You will need these skills to write coherent essays. It’s really hard to read your responses with the grammatical and semantic errors:
I saw your other post regarding getting into a college. This trend won’t work if you hope to get into a UC or CSU
The teacher actually got fired because 76% of her student failed and also her lack of teaching.
You need a minimum 3.0 UC GPA capped weighted to apply to a UC and based on your other post, a 2.83 will not meet the cutoff.
I have posted in your other thread hopefully some useful information about your chances at 4 year universities. If possible, repeat the Math class so the D does not remain in your CSU/UC GPA calculation which could help your chances at some of the Cal States but not at the UC’s.
Ask your guidance counselor about credit recovery and how it works because you can possibly redo that semester and replace it with a better grade. But ask your guidance counselor first because this varies through schools.
