Hi Every one, I need advise for my Son who finished grade 9th in June this year however as we are in the middle of international relocation, he has not attended his 10th grade this year. We will be moving to Houston by 15th of Sept and by that he would have mised almost 7 weeks of 10 grade school. He has been always ahead of his grade level in Maths and Science however we are a bit worried that he has lost out too much and are thinking of placing him in 9th grade again. Can you please advise me if this is a wise move or will it have impact on his colleague admissions as he would have taken a year longer. Thank you very for you help on this.

Regards

Kish

I really don't think any school would balk at taking him into 10th grade if he finished 9th grade last year. Do you have a transcript that shows he finished 9th grade? Tell them he's been privately tutored these past six weeks because you knew you were moving home.

Especially if you'd find out what books ...See More

delehla Most schools have a grade placement test for international or home schooled students to see what grade they should be placed in. In our state, missing 7 weeks of school could automatically retain a child. I would see if your new school district has a test to make sure that he is placed appropriately.
