I have a 3.89 GPA in 8th grade for the first marking period. I want to take honors classes in high school. If my GPA stays the same, is this high enough to get into accelerated classes?

I would assume so. You know, there are advisors in high school that can help you find out the requirements you need to fulfill for high school classes.

I don't know if this is @ all schools, but you take an entrance exam and the scores that you get on the exam gives you a recommendation of what level classes you should take...but if you have 3.89 for the whole year, that's very good and most likely you'll get all honors classes.

alright your GPA is great, but that is not all they look at for honors...at least at my old middle school it was the grades you got in 8th grade for the separate classes like if you get all A's this year or really close to it you can take honors in every class...
yup yup make sure to maintain that GPA it will definetly benefit you, and after some of those you might want to take AP because it gets yah some college credit....so if they offer pre-AP classes then you will want to take them they are weighted a little more than honors = )

That is a really good GPA, i am in 8th grade too and i made the honer roll. It really depends on the school you go to, like in my school to make to honer classes you should get 4.0 and i think that might be the same thing at your school. Way to go on your GPA!!!!!

of course!....i had straight 4.0's in middle school..though did NOT take any honors classes....y?...well since i had no idea about that...well now, i'm taking my 4th honors class (economics) and i'm a senior in HS......
ur gpa's is GREAT!.....my unweighted so far is 3.95 (i had my first B's in my junior year and yes....i'm trying to get away from that and maintain A's).....though my weighted in 4.06
also, the best part about it is that as long as a class does not have AP, then it'll be weighted 5=A rather than a 4.
i'm sure u'll do great.....=]

That would depend on your state and local school. Different schools set different standards. Check with your advisor/counselor at the high school you will attend to find out.
Best Wishes,
