My daughter took a year off after her freshman year due to family situation. During that time, we lived abroad and she took several courses from online schools. Before we left, we met with the guidance counselor and were told that we won't get any credit fro the work she does online. So we assumed she would be returning as a sophomore after a year.
This summer, when we returned and registered her, the school district placed her in the junior year. They advised my daughter can repeat the senior year if we like to take all the courses she wants to take for college.
It does not seem to be a fair situation that she appears to be taking no challenging courses as a junior because she's stuck with all the 10th grade courses, some of which she already did during the gap year via reputable online schools such as Stanford Online and CTY. However, the school district says they have to place the students according to their "cohort" group of starting the freshman year together.
Any similar experience/suggestions?
