Can college courses hurt my high school transcript?

I have a 4.2GPA and going to be junior.Taking a college course, spanish 2 currently for 6 weeks so i can get spanish 3 on my junior year, thats where most juniors are at spanish 3 on their junior year at my school.

So far I’m barely passing my last two tests was a 75% and 69%.Its not that its difficult to understand, but its class is too hasty, we cover 5 chapters,12 lessons per chapter, 4 a day. so its like after 4 days its test time, then 4 days after, its test time.

I just took the test recently and I dont feel too good about it.

My parents are asking me to drop out (my community college can do that) because it might affect my high school transcripts to colleges.

So if i recieved a C on Spanish 2 and go on with Span 3 in high school, will colleges like UCLA, UC schools, or cal state schools (cause i live in CA) mind I get a letter grade C at the community college even though i get straight As in high school.

In other word,can this C ruin my good high school transcript?

For law school, I think you only need to send the transcript of the college classes that you took while in high school, not the entire high school transcript itself. The LSAC website below says you need to send transcripts from “institutions from which you took college-level courses while in high school even though they were for high school credit,” i.e. the college transcript, not the high school one. I don’t know whether Yale, Harvard, and Stanford Law would still favorably consider you if you had lower grades while in high school but otherwise excelled in college. Maybe an upward trend would mitigate your earlier lower grades. I do know that they are the top three law schools in the country though – and that a 3.8 is around the 30th percentile at Harvard – so… Good luck.

It wouldn’t go on your high school transcript, that is considered college credit and would be on your college transcript. Wherever you go after you graduate will see that you have a C in a college course.

well. they aren’t going to hurt your transcript per se… but colleges will definetly know you have a C. you have to tell them the grades you make at other colleges anyway. so if they see that you’re getting C’s in community college classes, they might not think you’re ready for their workload.

i would say drop the class
