What is a Transcript A transcript is a report card for every course you take while in high school. This record follows you to each school you attend until you graduate from high school. Even after you graduate, your high school Transcript will be requested by schools you attend for higher education. Your future bosses and persons interested in your work ethic may want to see the effort you were willing to put forth during your high school years.

How Students Are Classified We base your grade level on the number of credits that you have earned, not on the number of years that you have been in high school. 0.0 – 5.5 Credits = Freshman 6.0 -11.5 Credits = Sophomore 12.0 – 18.5 Credits = Junior 19.0 + Credits = Senior

How Can I Recover Credits Online Credit Recovery (OCR) is a credit recovery option offered at Summit. See your counselor for more information!!
