Credit Recovery & Credit Mastery Overview

ELHS offers two programs to help students recover credits needed for graduation. Both programs are designed for students who have already taken a course but need to earn credit to stay on track. 

Enrollment in a specific program is based on a case-by-case basis.

Course Repetition (GAVS)

- Independent, online coursework via Georgia Virtual School.
- Includes pre-tests, unit lessons, post-tests, and a final exam (or Milestones).
- Final grade = 80% coursework + 20% final exam/EOC.
- Students must score 70% or higher to earn credit.
- One course at a time unless approved by the Graduation Coach.
- First attempt is free; $25 fee for re-enrollment if the course expires.

Credit Mastery/Recovery (ELHS)

- Options: (1) Make up work or assessments with a teacher, or (2) Pass a Credit Mastery Exam
- Exams are proctored at school between 8:30 AM and 2:00 PM
- Score of 70% earns credit (transcript grade: 70)
- Scores below 70 must complete revisions with the Graduation Coach or case manager
