Academic smurfing encompasses a wide variety of situations, but they're all a tactic used by a GPA whore.
Common examples of academic smurfing:
A student fluent in a foreign language, such as French, retaking the whole language from the easiest class, in this case, French 1, so they can easily get As in their 4 years of taking that language.
A student who has qualified for AP Calculus BC, but instead choosing to take AP Statistics or AP Calculus AB, as they are perceived to be easier AP classes. This highly depends on the school curriculum and prerequisites. Some schools have students take Calc AB before taking Calc BC. See booster.
A student dropping an honors/AP class and swapping it for another AP/honors/regular class the moment they get less than an A- on the first test, so they could protect their GPA and increase their chances of ending up with an A. See GPA whore

Get the cromer academy mug.The worst school you could possibly go to. The high school section is mostly potheads and retards. Maximum of 5 genuine people in the entire school, including teachers. Nobody gives a fuck about you, and they will gladly let you know it. The dean of students is a pain in the ass, as well as the high school principal. You get written up for using headphones, suspended for shit you didn’t even do, and expelled for a hypothetical conversation. If you do manage to make a genuine friend, they’ll be at a different school the next year by their own choice. 75% of the school lives in Norristown, so unless you live there, good luck hanging out with anyone outside of school because the only people who go to RA within a 10 mile radius of you are kindergarteners. On the not so rare occasion that a fight breaks out, somebody is going to the ER. Kids threatening to shoot up the school with lego guns.

Get the Renaissance academy mug.This is a school is in hackney, It’s very very strict and full of wanna be roadman, i knew this guy that brought a shank to school and started crying when he got caught. This school has students that are either from; Jamaica, Kurds/Turks or Latin. Their are students that are from other places but it’s few. If you start year 7 here you will be so quite but after a few months you would be trying to pressure olders even tho you’ll end up getting robbed. Don’t go to this school it’s shit
