Rising 9th Grade

Please be mindful of the following...

Teachers in Greenville County middle/high schools give careful consideration to student placement for the following year. Parents have the right to participate in the registration process and may override a teacher recommendation in order to place their son or daughter in a different course and/or level. Please be mindful that the following conditions must be met in order for the override to take place: 

1. The parent must contact the student’s teacher to discuss reasons for a different placement. 

2. The student and parent recognize that the student should meet published school district prerequisites before a change can be considered. 

3. The student and parent understand that this parent override request will be honored only if space is available in the course requested. 

4. The student will not be allowed to drop to a lower level or move up to a higher level during this school year unless an administrative appeal decision has been rendered on behalf of the student. 

5. The parent understands that he/she will be contacted by the school’s counselor if this request cannot be honored. 

6. If you are planning to retake a high school credit class that you took in 8th grade, you must take that in 9th grade and it must be the same course/course number at the same difficulty level to replace the GPA points.
