Our system does both. In our system math and high school biology can be taken at the middle school and get put on the high school transcript and factored into the high school GPA. They warn parents extensively not to push their kids to take these classes if they are not mature enough to do well. The bio students also take the bio (Living Environment) NYS Regents test at the end of the year. There is no question that this is a high school level course. There may or may not be a math Regents test - they have changed the math curriculum so many times I can’t keep up!

Students who take two years of foreign language in middle school get placed into the second year of the language at the high school. But they don’t record a grade for it and you can repeat the language if you want to. My older son actually did two years of high school math in middle school, but he had to shuttle to the high school for the second year of it.
