Default Ground school and high school

I am planning to take a ground school course *soon* (one has started and they only do two or three a year at my FBO, so I might be able to jump in, the instructor tells me they havnt gone over too much). A friend of mine recommended that I see if I could recieve creditation for the course in high school. Seems like a good idea. UNfourtunitley, my guidence consulors don't feel that way. I went to their office twice and I got the yeah were on that but you could tell that they wern't really that entuiastic about looking into or doing it period. The course is over about 36 hours, it would be after school from 6-9PM once a week, an is about $450. I really want to take the course for my benifit anyway, but would really like to get creditation for it. I have given my conselor my instructors number, but I really dont think see is going to call. Is it worth pursuing to see if I can reciveve creditation? What should I do to seek to it that my consoler does what is nessicary to allow me to recieve accredation? because she doesn't seem that excited about it.

And another thing. Last year I talked to a consoler and she was excited that I wanted to be a pilot. Well, now the school has changed my consoler from last year, who I know would want to help me. I think next stop is to the pricipal involved, my parents, and instructor. Just upsets me when they want to help students but don't want to do more than what they do.
