Summer School & Credit Recovery
Throughout the learning process, we recognize that not every student will take the road most traveled or the most direct route. So, in order to best support our young scholars along their path, we have opportunities for them to recover the learning they may have missed the first time it was presented to them. Below you will find information on how to recover credits, as well as the promotion policy in MCPS.
MCPS Promotion Policy
MCPS Regulation JEP-RA, Placement, Promotion, Acceleration, and Retention of Students (www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/policy/pdf/jebra.pdf), requires that high school students earn 5 credits each year in order to be promoted, including specific required credits in English, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies, as indicated in the chart below.
