Promotion Requirements

​

Students must meet the following requirements to be promoted from one grade to another.

​

9th to 10th Grade: Students must earn six (6) credits during the 9th grade. Credits may be earned in any courses.

​

10th to 11th Grade: Students must have earned a cumulative total of 12 credits (which must include English I, English II and Math I).

​

11th to 12th Grade: Students must have earned a cumulative total of 18 credits.

​

High school credits earned in middle school do not count towards credits that must be earned each year in order to be promoted to the next grade. However, credits earned in middle school do count towards the total number of credits necessary to satisfy graduation requirements.

​

Until students have satisfied graduation standards in English or Math, they must be scheduled to take at least one English and one Math course every year.

​

Students should be promoted only at the end of the first or second semester, upon completing the required courses and credits to be reclassified to the next level.
