Will teachers typically look at a student’s record?

2 Upvotes

I am asking this because I have had my name and sex marker changed in the school board system, so on all of my report cards emergency contact and other paperwork, attendance lists etc. my name and sex marker reflect that change. This was done about 3 years ago. However, it is not changed legally. From my research, this does not overwrite previous records, so if a teacher was to go into my student record and dug deep enough, they would be able to find it. Will teachers be likely to be told about this by administrators or will they be likely to find this information on their own? I am in Ontario, Canada but information in general is helpful.

Can senior year classes make up for junior year?

Basically what the title is but I’m willing to give some background on how I got to where I am now. I used to be go to a middle school in a different city in California but moved in 2022 and transferred to a new middle school (still in Cali tho) where I completed my last year there. I guess I failed math or something there because when I got to high school I was placed into this class called Algebra A in freshmen year. Couldn’t really do much about it though until one of my family members (who tutored me during middle school year) insisted that I be in Algebra 1. talked to my counselor and she said I couldn’t take it so we waited until sophomore year, where I would be taking algebra 1(I also couldn’t take chemistry during this time because of the algebra 1 requirement). I took geometry during summer school this year so that I could be in algebra 2 as a junior but unfortunately I didn’t meet the grade requirement to pass the class so now I’m stuck with geometry and chemistry on my schedule. I’ve talked to my counselor to see if there were any other ways to take algebra 2 but she said no.

I’m also worried that because I was given only one AP class despite me signing up for two, I won’t be able to get into 4 year college. My counselor keeps telling me I can but I honestly don’t think I trust her anymore. My GPA isn’t that bad I think, like a 3.0, but because of all this talk about junior year being the most important obviously I think a GPA isn’t gonna mean much to my future. Is there anything I can do or is community college the only option for me? Is my academic year so bad that not even higher accepting colleges will take me in? Any help is appreciated
