Me again! we are moving next week and had originally planned to have our daughters finish off school where we are. Now we are considering switching now and wonder if it is possible. I talked to someone at Panther Creek HS and she said because they were on a block schedule and our school was on a semester schedule that none of my girls credits from this year would transfer. Just wondering if that is true. Thanks!
They are over simplifying but essentially you would have a credit problem. This late in the year, in high school, it may be better to wait and to transfer at the beginning of a term --August or January because of the block schedule. You might also try calling the WCPSS main office and see if there are any traditional calendar schools in your target location and see about a transfer into one of those.
What do you mean when you say you are on a semester schedule? Our block schedule is a semester schedule.
Probably a matter of semantics but in other parts of the country a "semester system" means mid-terms in January and electives switching over in January (if they are half year electives). That's usually thought of as a "semester system" as opposed to "trimester system" where you have classes ending in November and March or thereabouts. Even though HS classes here last a semester it's not what the OP is probably used to calling it.
All of my daughters classes are full year ones, no half credits so that is why they would not transfer over. Makes sense. We will for sure let them finish the year off where they are. They have worked too hard to lose the credits they have earned this year also would not want it to hurt their GPA. Thanks for the help!
According to the document I linked WCPSS, they all do. You'll have to take that up with them if their document is incorrect.
You didn't read your own document too well I guess.
And I quote: "Wake County Public School System’s high schools utilize a 4 by 4 Block schedule, with the exception of Broughton and Enloe."
I should have just read your own link. Oh well...at least I got to talk to one of my daughter's old high school friends (current Enloe senior) when I chatted her on facebook to double check.
