<p>IMO, the more difficult the school is to gain admittance, the more likely it is that the school will refigure grades. My two children have been in three different high schools and all of them have different grading systems and weighting systems. There are threads on here about grading methods, but I do not know any names or I would link you.</p>
<p>You might ask both schools to provide a profile so that you can get an idea of what goes out with a transcript. My daughter switched schools after her freshman year and I requested about a dozen official transcripts of her first year. I gave those to the school she transferred to and the college counselor sent the frehman year transcript with the transcript for her sophomore, junior, and senior (senior year only indicated classes) in her applications. It worked out pretty well. Schools all handle things differently, but the best thing you can do is to be informed. You might make an appointment in guidance at the new school so they know who you are and go over how the new school will handle applications.</p>
