<p>I feel like an idiot, but I don’t actually understand what the school did. How did they count pass fail courses? Did they give them a grade? If not, are they just listed on the transcript? Could you explain how they are counted (sorry for not understanding).</p>
<p>I think that high schools make a lot of administrative decisions that don’t make sense and I wonder if it’s not too late to revisit this one. If you think that there is a way to raise your son’s average, I would go in and speak with the counselor and then, assuming that nothing changed, I would go as high up as necessary. Ask them to give you examples of other times they have done this or to point you to the written school policy about this–a lot of times the school has some flexibility in these types of decisions.</p>
