Please see  student comment below:

Hello Miss Mary, 
So I have talked to Mr. Motherway about this last year along with Mr.Peterson the fact that PSEO classes are affecting high school GPA'S, I am a full PSEO student with a full caseload. My workload is way more, the credits are more, and the hours needed are more. But yet if I get a B or a C in a class my high school GPA drops tremendously. I know schools around our district dont count PSEO into a GPA or if they do they alter it as the work is harder. As students we are pushed and encouraged to take these classes but when it comes to high school these students are the least supported, and affected the most. I'd like you guys to seriously talk and consider changing this.
