What grade do you need to get a high school credit?

When you lose credit for a class in high school is the grade for that class included in the total GPA?

• It's my senior year in high school and I am taking a class which I don't really need the credit for. It's a waste of time. I wouldn't mind losing credit for it but I want to keep my high GPA and graduate top 10% that's why I want to know if I lose the credit and get a failing grade, will that grade affect my GPA, even though I am not getting credit for that class?

• Answer:

  My daughter is in the same boat. She is taking some frivolous classes just to stay in school and graduate with her class. She has already met all the requirements for graduation. I know she is burned out. But she has a great GPA going like you and you two have less than a semester left. Just tough it out and make your grades and stay on top of your class. Don't let the classes you don't need ruin your GPA
