@droppedit Why would you suggest online courses are not in GPA? DS has taken several AoPS online courses that are more challenging than what is offered at his school. If you are worried about cheating, it is easily fixed by having tests done under supervision.
In our case, son’s online courses do not show up in his GPA but I think this is wrong. Most of the AoPS courses are not reflected in his academic record at all which is probably the case for many kids.
