• For a student to be promoted from 9th grade to 10th grade, they must pass at least 5 classes in high school and have earned 5 credits. Any 5 classes count.

• For a student to be promoted from 10th grade to 11th grade, they must pass at least 10 classes in high school and have earned 10 credits. Any 10 classes count.

• For a student to be promoted from 11th grade to 12th grade, they must pass at least 16 classes in high school and have earned 16 credits. Any 16 classes count.

While not required for promotion from grade level to grade level, parents/guardians and students should be aware that students must also pass a required number of SOL tests and meet other graduation requirements to graduate on time.
