View submission: Do highschool grades matter?
It depends tbh.
They matter if they're bad enough that you can't get into college if you want a career that requires college or a specific college.
Good grades can get you scholarships, can get you into better colleges, and can allow you to skip 100 level courses and time saved on low level classes is very valuable. So they matter in this regard.
Once you're out of high school and have moved onto the next stage, whatever situation you end up in, they don't matter much. If you're in college, your grades *in college* are what you need to focus on and no one cares if you got straight A's in high school. If you don't pursue more education and get a job, a high school diploma might matter but the grades beyond earning said diploma don't.
