Students' schedules are developed based on teacher recommendations in core academics and student selections in elective areas. Students and parents/guardians should review the information below and reach out to their school counselor with any questions.
Carolina Forest High School runs on a block schedule. Students will take four classes a day each semester giving them the potential to earn eight credits each school year.
Individual Graduation Plan conferences and registration takes place during the fall and spring semesters preceding the next school year or when a new student enrolls in the school. All students are given written information about courses and assistance in their selections. Recommendations for enrollment in courses are based on school and/or district placement rubrics, teacher recommendations, and advisement.
Because students have been given the opportunity to conference with teachers and school counselors to select their courses for the next school year and to review course selection with parents, no schedule changes will be made after the student schedules have been finalized, except under the following circumstances:
1) Credit is needed for graduation
2) Scheduling errors have been made
3) Credit has been earned during summer school
4) A student as not passed a prerequisite course
No requests for schedule changes will be accepted following the fifth day of a semester without written approval school’s principal.
The SC Uniform Grading Policy permits students to withdraw from a course within five days of enrollment without penalty; however, after this time a grade penalty will apply. Specifically, the policy reads as follows:
“Students who withdraw from a course after three days in a 45-day course, five days in a 90-day course, or 10 days in a 180-day course, will be assigned a letter grade of WF (Withdrew Failing) and zero GPA quality points. This WF will be calculated in the student’s overall grade point average.”
All grades on report cards and transcripts in South Carolina’s public high schools are numerical. Letter grades correspond to numerical scores as outlined below:
A: 90-100
B: 80-89
C: 70-79
D: 60-69
F: <60
Additionally, quality points are assigned to each numerical grade depending on the level of course in which they are earned. College Preparatory courses earn the base weighting. Honors courses earn one-half quality point more, and Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and Dual-Credit classes earn a full quality point more.

A student’s grade point average, class rank, and status as an honors graduate are determined based on this grade point conversion table. For more information, please consult:

An Important Note on Course Offerings and Student Schedules
This Program of Studies lists the classes that we anticipate offering to students during the upcoming academic year. However, the inclusion of courses in the master schedule is contingent on the number of students who enroll, staffing availability, and changes to curriculum.
