Take AP classes / College classes because they are weighted as a 5 instead of a 4. Those will look impressive to colleges. If you don’t have time during the school year, you can try dual enrolling over the summer which will allow you to squeeze in harder classes

In the classes you’re not doing so well in, try to watching khan academy or if you can afford it, get a tutor who can help you improve!
