My son’s Academic Support/Resource Room was not on his official transcript that was sent to colleges for admissions. Our high school has 8 periods, minus 1 for lunch, a student can have 7 classes, so anyone with less than 7 classes listed will catch an admission counselor’s eye.

When his official GPA was calculated it did not include the A+ from Resource. The grade report sent home included Resource grade in his GPA. Our high school produced 2 different grade reports/transcripts. No one from the school told me they would send out an official transcript without the Resource Room course listed.

Best to ask your school/guidance counselor what is included on the official transcript. It may have a bearing on whether you disclose your LD.
