Academics and Honor Roll

Academic Information

Accelerated Classes: Accelerated classes are available at the Junior High in the subject areas of mathematics (7th Grade – “Accelerated Math” and 8th Grade – “Algebra”) and language arts (7th and 8th Grade – “Accelerated Language Arts”). Criteria for placement are evaluated each year and are subject to change. Past classroom success, teacher recommendations, and standardized test scores are factors that weigh into placement decisions. Students are expected to maintain a “B” average in the honors class; students falling below a “B” average may be removed from the class.  School administrators have the final decision regarding placement in honors/accelerated classes. Removal from accelerated/honors classes is also at the discretion of school administrators.

GPA Scale: To calculate a student’s GPA, individual class grades are given a number value based on a 4.0-point scale.  All classes are added and then divided by the total number of classes.  A 3.7 GPA will place a student on the Honor Roll, and a GPA of 4.0 will place a student on the High Honor Roll.  Students who meet these criteria during each of the first three quarters will be recognized at the end of the year Awards Night.
