I think graduating from elementary school should be a big deal though. You get through your first phase of life basicly. I think elementary students do deserve something like a graduation when they finish 6th grade. For middle school, we had a small ceremony just saying "do well in highschool, it was good having you...GET OUT!". Haha...we were bad...

Only thing that colleges care about is high school, everything before that is useless</div>thats not true, ive been taking honors in most of my classes since 7th grade, and alotve the stuff most people do in highschool, I did in middle school. Colleges will track your stuff back to 7th grade, its a proven fact. I know a couple juniors just now taking algebra gateway, I took that in 8th grade..middle school. Gateway is a big test, you have to pass it to get outve highschool.

No, middle school does count considering what kindve classes you were in. Your school system begins a new file when you get in 7th grade, and its the same file they use up to your senior year. And colleges have access to it. They are keeping trackk of all the exams, and state tests we took...atleast here. Middle school does count.
yes it does. Not as big as junior and senior exams or final tests, but they do count alot more than you think.I know about this cause I talked to my history teacher about it. He said people dont realize how much they look into middle school grades, shows how hard you work when you jump into a newly exposed enviroment.
w/e everyone I've talked to has always said its useless, and it probably is, no work is required to excel in those early grades. I aced those years so easily. Anyways what really matters are 9th grade on, or so im told
Maybe where you went, my honor classes were hard at my middle school. The exams were hard, and like I said, theres atleast two tests I took in 8th grade that sophomores and juniors are just now taking. Maybe not where you went, but my middle school grades will count on my applications.
well honors for others were hard, but for me they were extremly easy. Thats not teh point, all im saying si that ive always been told those grades dont matter
You guys must go to a weird school. Because when I was in middle school, we all went to the same high school
You have a Graduation Mass which means you go to a private religious school, which means you'll be a heroin addict by 21.
lmao. Crying at an 8th grade graduation? I don't even understand how that's sad. You'll see everybody again next year. Exactly the same as 5th grade graduations.HS grads and College grads are totally different.

In california not only are middle school grades not looked at but Freshman and Senior Grades aren't factored in either when it comes to GPA the colleges look at.

Most of the people are going somewhere else. My eyes got watery, I didnt cry for real or anything, it was just sad leaving the place I had spent my whole life with people Ive known my whole life.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Kobebryant_24OWNEDME @ May 18 2007, 02:20 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>hmmm.... that's weird.

I have never seen a college that looks at middle school grades... I'd love a link to that. They might look at what courses you took in middle school if they are advanced classes, but I still doubt that they look at the grades of those courses.

For High School, its something special as 4/10 people don't graduate HS. For those graduating college, thats even more exciting. Hopefully you all have some jobs lined up with some cash money on the other end.
