Promotion Requirements

In order to be promoted to the 8th grade, a middle school student must pass a minimum of two-thirds of courses taken. In addition, students must pass Language Arts, Math and Science as these courses are aligned with state assessments. 

For more detailed information, please refer to the JCPS Student Progression, Promotion and Grading handbook.

Course Recovery

If a student receives a failing grade (U) in Language Arts or Math class in any term, he/she will be placed in course recovery. This will take place during their regularly scheduled Related Arts class. All course recovery work is completed online. If you have questions about course recovery, please contact your counselor.
