Do high school classes in middle school affect GPA?
It’s true, middle school grades matter. They don’t count towards high school/ college credits, but they count in other ways. In fact, only those students who leave eighth grade with GPAs of at least 3.0 have even a moderate chance of earning a 3.0 GPA in high school, the threshold for being considered college-bound.
