Can I take classes from different grade levels?
I’m reaching out because I haven’t found any information on this topic. After being homeschooled for nearly seven years, I’m planning to return to public school for 10th grade in August. However, by that time, I’ll be ready for 11th grade English, History, and Science. Will I be placed in both 10th and 11th grade classes, or is there a waiting period I should be aware of? Thanks for any insights!
Unpacking the ‘Hot One’ Stereotype: It’s Not Just About Students When we think of school stereotypes, we often picture the quintessential popular kid—the one deemed ‘the hot one’ by peers.

It’s great that you’re transitioning back to public school after homeschooling! Generally, placement in classes can vary by school district, but many schools do allow students to take classes at different grade levels based on their skills and readiness. Since you’re already ahead in some subjects, you could potentially be placed in 11th-grade classes for English, History, and Science while still officially being in 10th grade.
The best approach is to communicate directly with your school counselor or the administration as soon as possible. They can provide specific guidance based on your academic history and the school’s policies. They may also consider testing or assessments to help determine the appropriate class placements for you. Good luck with your transition!
