Course Level Changes
Booklet Page 17
On a case by case basis, it is sometimes in a student’s educational best interest to make a level change during the school year. Depending on when the change occurs, the student’s grade will be adjusted in the following manner:
If a student is moving up from a regular college preparatory course to an honors or Advanced Placement course, transferred quarter grades will be reduced by 10 points to compensate for the additional weighting in the Honors/AP course.
Example:
English III 132
AP English Language and Composition 130
Quarter 1
Grade A (90)
Grade B (80)
If a student is moving down from an honors or Advanced Placement course to a regular college preparatory course, transferred quarter grades will be increased by 10 points to compensate for the reduced weighting in the regular college preparatory course.
Example:
Prealculus H 340
Precalculus 342
Quarter 1
Grade C+ (78)
Grade B+ (88)
