<p>Last year I attended a public high school as a freshman. I then decided to apply to private high school and repeat a year and be a freshman again. However, I am placed in sophomore math and spanish class. I’m in a freshman English and History class (though I don’t think that it matters because they are entirely different from the freshman English and History classes at my old public school) and am taking Biology for the second time. If i wanted to go back to my public high school next year, would I be allowed to be a junior, or would I have to be a sophomore?</p>
<p>Are you unhappy already?? I think you need to give this bs a chance. There had to be reasons that you left your previous high school. The answer to the question can only really be answered by the high school when they see your transcripts.</p>
<p>Give bs a try…at least until Christmas break :-).</p>
<p>Agree. This is probably going to feel strange for a while, and then you will settle in. You will preserve all of your options by excelling this year.</p>
<p>Sounds like you could be ahead of the game. Believe me, by the time your Senior year rolls around you’ll find that your GPA is one of the major factors with respect to your College opportunities. Please, it’s only September and you’re there, try and make the most of it. I’ll bet this won’t even be an issue by Spring.</p>
<p>I agree with the others, give it more time. But based on two students who I know…if you return to public school, you will return to the grade/class you were with before. The repeat attempt won’t fly with them.</p>
<p>Most colleges look at “years” of high school math, language, etc. Some need specific courses (algebra, geometry, etc…). But for the most part it’s how many credits you have, not what year those courses were considered in each school. </p>
<p>I suspect you’ll be put with your old class. But colleges will wonder about the switch in, switch out and ask if you’re hiding a disciplinary problem. Worse - they’ll question whether you’ll do the same once enrolled in college (it would be my first question as an interviewer and the focus of much of my attention during the session).</p>
<p>Learn to stick it out, or go back and be prepared to “dance” a lot during application time explaining your high school oddysey.</p>
