I appreciate everyone's comments. I've wondered how his DE classes would affect college acceptance and scholarship. He is determined to get his Associate degree in computer science before he graduates high school. I believe he is on schedule to graduate with his Associate degree summer after his senior year.

Thanks everyone. He's our first so this is the first time we are dealing with this. The college he likes guaranteed he would be accepted based on his high ACT score, so we were looking at Merit scholarships and how much of a difference he would get between having a 3.6 versus a 3.8. A couple thousands dollars difference, but not a deal breaker.

We are getting ready to apply to colleges and finishing all the paperwork. My son will have a couple dozen dual enrolled courses from a community college he took through high school. If he took two social studies classes (or computer classes, or whatever) in one year, can I just take the one with the higher grade to put on his transcript, or will that look suspicious if we have ALL his courses transferred over to his college. Would anyone even know we didn't put them all on the transcript?

I had my sons do a couple timed practice tests before they took the ACT. It helped them learn to manage their time, as they hadn't taken timed tests before.

Accommodations for dyslexia

Yes, we got accomodations for my son on the ACT. I'm guessing the SAT would be similar. We had to send in a copy of his test with the diagnosis, and choose what accomodations he would need. It was pretty quick and easy. -
My sons will be in 11th and 12th grades next year. The both take college classes, so they sign up for classes based on what is offered that semester, then we fill in the rest at home. They usually take social studies, computer science and english at their colleges, and we do science, math and foreign languages at home. They will probably do: Derek Owens Pre-Calc Derek Owens Physics Foreign Language ?
