FAQ
Can my student accelerate in math between the 8th and 9th-grade year?
The first opportunity high school students can attempt acceleration in math is between their 9th and 10th-grade years. Acceleration is dependent upon a placement protocol and their current level of math.
Is there a minimum grade students must maintain in the class and/or test averages to stay in advanced or honors classes?
Yes, there is. Please see the board document for the requirements.
Can my student skip geometry?
Geometry cannot be skipped and is a required course that most students take during their 8th or 9th-grade year.
