Course Levels/Course Placement

Our goal is for all students to be placed at a level where the work and the pace will challenge but not overwhelm them.

Teachers make recommendations for appropriate course placement for students in February*. Teacher recommendations for students will be available on Aspen. Should you want to ask questions or discuss a course recommendation, please contact the teacher who made the recommendation. If the discussion with the teacher does not answer your question and/or you continue to disagree with the placement recommendation, parents can choose to begin the appeal process. In this process, a parent and student wishing to appeal a placement recommendation must meet with the appropriate department chair for additional information. Please plan carefully. The required meetings and signed appeal form must be submitted to the guidance department prior to April vacation, and parents/students must understand that this course appeal will only occur if the requested class has not reached its recommended student capacity.

*Please see individual department sections for more specific placement information.

**Unless otherwise noted all of our courses are college level courses.
