RFMS 8th Grade Honors Program

At the end of the 7th grade school year, teachers will recommend students for our Honors program in Math and Science for their 8th grade year. Students who are recommended will be offered the chance to take a course in Living Environment and/or Algebra. These are rigorous, accelerated, Regents level courses, which will culminate in a Regents exam per each Honors class. The classes meet for a double period every other day, with a lab period on an A/B day schedule. The homework load is considerable, and students are expected to maintain quarter averages of 85. If a quarter average of 85 is not maintained, students may be removed from the class. Recommendations for the Honors program will be made based on teacher recommendation and a maintained overall average of 92 or above and overall assessment average of 94 or above in 7th grade Math and 7th grade Science. Please contact your child’s guidance counselor with any questions.
