Senior Failures

The Guidance Department will send a letter to the home of any potential graduate whose progress indicates that graduation is in peril.

Teachers and counselors will coordinate interventions and continued contact with the family and student to support the goal of graduation.

Placement in certain Honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses is by recommendation from current year’s teachers and subject supervisors. The recommendation is based on demonstrated ability as evidenced by course evaluations, grades and standardized test results. Students in Honors/AP courses are expected to learn more independently with deeper understanding and at a faster pace.

In order to be invited into a sequential Honors/AP course, a current Honors student must, at the time of recommendations, achieve and maintain at least a C+ grade in the current course and have the recommendation of his/her teacher. Qualified students without a recommendation may have access to sequential Honors/AP courses through a waiver (see Waiver Process).

Certain non-sequential AP and Honors courses are available by student choice. See Program of Studies for more details.
