There was a kid in my son's HS class who found out that a college prep English course he took in 9th grade was not acceptable with the NCAA clearinghouse. Note here, this was a top, top NJ high school where probably 98% of the kids went to college. For most who took this course it was acceptable, but not to the clearinghouse. He ended up being pulled out of college and his football team the first week of his freshman year.  Also in this case, the kid sued our school district and won since they did not do their job in making sure his courses were acceptable, and for such a high end school district to have such questionable course. He never had a football career, but he used the money from the suit to pay for college, and is successful in his career.  It was a fair law suit in that the guidance counselor who was working with the NCAA did not do his job, and what he got in return was money to pay for college since he lost his chance at the football scholarship. Plus maybe a bit more money for no possible NFL career.

Maybe something like this has happened, where they thought a course was not good enough, and are changing it out?

Also with what was said above with not going to summer school, maybe a 12th grader is a little more mature than a 9th grader. Another thought is that raising the grade of a 9th grade course is an easier grade to raise.

If you all really want, I can drive over there and find out what is going on, lol. Although that may be a recruiting violation.
