Pathway to High School & College
Click here to look at the current 5 year planning rubric which outlines minimum graduation and college entrance requirements.
High School Credit for Middle School Students
Students have the opportunity to take advanced Mathematics and World Languages coursework at (school name). These courses follow the same Colorado Academic Standards and curriculum as the courses offered at the high school level and are one way we provide accelerated and challenging coursework to our students. Successful completion of any of the eligible courses listed below will automatically award the student high school credit. This means that the course name and letter grade will appear on the student’s high school transcript. The grade will not be calculated into the student’s high school GPA.
Which courses are eligible?
Mathematics: Algebra 1, Geometry or higher.
All students graduating from Jeffco Public High Schools are required to complete 3 years of Mathematics, in addition to an additional demonstration of readiness. For more information, please visit the Jeffco Graduation Requirements website.
World Languages: Any course Level 1 or above, or a 101/102 combination.
The above courses are exclusive of summer school courses as stated in Board policy IKF.
Please note:
If athletes are planning to enroll in college as freshmen and wish to participate in collegiate athletics, they must be certified by the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Center. Students should register with the NCAA eligibility center, at http://eligilibilitycenter.org/, no later than the end of their junior year. It is the students’ and parents’ responsibility to verify their eligibility for NCAA participation and to register each year for NCAA approved core courses. Students should meet with their counselor no later than the end of their sophomore year to ensure their course plan is on track with eligibility requirements.
College & Careers
Going to college is not for everyone, but it is an option that every student should consider. There are so many types of colleges and college level programs available ....opportunities that will suit nearly every need or interest and the various talents and abilities found among individual students.

We advise students and families to talk through the opportunity, especially that it will be a full year commitment. Please see the course descriptions on the next page.
Accelerated Math Pathways
The process used for whether a student will be placed in Math 6 or an Accelerated course relies on the following body of evidence for each student:
District MAP rit scores and past CMAS scores in Math
Unit test scores or other relevant scores from current math course
Teacher recommendation
Progression through an Advanced Learning Plan (although not required to be placed in Accelerated Math).
Successful score on the placement test (multiple choice & constructed response), as needed -- this test will be given in May, during their regular math class.
Teacher, Parent, and Student Surveys, as needed
All 5th grade students will initially be registered for Math 6. If a student displays the adequate body of evidence described above by early May, their math course will automatically change by the release of schedules to reflect their placement in an accelerated course, in place of Math 6. Parents will be notified by email if this change occurs.
