COURSE LOAD REQUIREMENTS

A student should be aware of his/her personal progress each year, so graduation can be attained. In order to make satisfactory progress toward receiving a diploma, each student must be enrolled in a minimum of 5.5 credits per year. This means students must take at least five classes per semester. An average class load is between 5.50 and 6 credits per year. Algebra I and Geometry taken at the middle school will count toward the 4 credits of math required for graduation. Students may receive one elective credit for a full year of the first year of a world language taken at the middle school. World language, Algebra I, and Physical Science that have been taken at the middle school are not part of the cumulative grade point average for high school. Honors Geometry will be calculated into the cumulative GPA.
