Credit for High School Courses Taken During Middle School

Middle school students completing high school courses at the middle school campus shall receive credit that applies toward both state and subject area graduation requirements. Grade points for these courses shall not be awarded nor considered in determining high school class rank. All grades for high school courses taken in middle school will appear on the high school transcript. Students must pass the course for the full year in order to receive credit.

A student who fails the first semester of the high school credit course should be removed from the course unless a committee consisting of the assistant principal, teacher, and parent determine the student should remain in the course for the year. If a student fails one semester of a two semester course but passes the other semester of the course, the student shall receive credit for both semesters when the average of the two semesters of the course is at least 70. If a student fails one semester and passes the other and the yearly average is below 70, no credit will be awarded.
