Academics

All students are required to maintain “good academic standing” while attending LPS Oakland R&D. Good academic standing requires that a student meets all of the following criteria:

· Maintaining a 2.0 or above GPA (to be reviewed during Student Led Conferences (SLCs) at the end of each quarter during the school year)

· No failing grades in any courses

· Maintaining 95% attendance

· No more than three referrals and/or no disciplinary infractions

· Possess no more than a 10 credit deficiency in overall credits toward graduation

Students who do not meet “good academic standing” criteria may be subject to the loss of privileges and be required to attend LPS support programs to achieve good standing. Further, at the discretion of the school staff, students may not be allowed to participate in school-wide or external extra-curricular events and activities. The school will review student data each quarter to ensure students are making adequate progress over the course of the school year. In the event a student does not maintain “good academic standing”, families will be contacted to conference with school staff to develop an intensive support plan. Students will be referred for “Tier 2 Services” if not in good academic standing, and assigned a site Point Person to support them. The school reserves the right to review academic standing more frequently dependent on the needs of the student.
