text: are high school students allowed to do this? hi, my daughter is a sophomore in high school and she has a 3.43 gpa. i was wondering if she could make up some of these classes in summer school so she could have a 4.0 gpa. i've heard of some schools doing this, does anyone know if students can do this? thanks. i've never heard of that!  if it was available i might have done it.  i would suggest having your daughter take advanced placement classes if you are that worried about her gpa.  most of them are on a 5.0 scale.  i took 4 of them in high school and it raised my grade from a 3.7 to a 3.9.  good luck and please don't be too hard on your daughter.
