Question about high school transcript?
I'm waiting for colleges to reply back to me on admissions. I'm wondering how high school level classes I took in middle school will affect my GPA when it comes to colleges looking at my transcript. In my school system they put my middle school grades on my transcript. I took two levels of Spanish as well as Algebra I and Geometry. I got a C for a semester of Algebra I, Cs for both semesters of Spanish 2, and a C in one semester of Geometry. I took these classes within two years (7th and 8th grade). These grades kill my overall GPA. Do colleges only look at your grades in high school even if you took high school level classes in middle school?
Well said Dave W.

No, they will not look at middle school grades. It's too elementary, and wouldn't mean a thing, since there is so much difference between middle school and high school.
Your body, mind, and maturity has changed since middle school, so you are a different person now too. It was great that you took high school level courses in middle school, but then that just made you better prepared to do high school work, right?
What they may also take into account, besides GPA for high school will be your participation in sports, clubs, and community projects. Whether you have any work experience is sometimes helpful, as it in part may explain why your GPA was say 3.4 and other student had 3.6, but never worked, or participated in Sports. The lower GPA would look better in such cases.
Good luck
