The high school experience is the final level towards graduation. Selecting courses for the upcoming school year is an important decision-making process for students and families. The outcomes determine the academic opportunities and experiences a student will have at SCELA and create the foundation of knowledge from which the student can pursue future academic and career goals. It is the goal of the SCELA counselors and administrators, in conjunction with students and parents, to develop a schedule for each student that meets his or her educational needs and interests. Academic advisement occurs annually with freshmen, sophomore, junior and senior students.

For the purposes of class ranking, which begins in the student’s 9th grade year, each student receives an overall numeric average which includes all courses attempted. A student moving into the Savannah-Chatham District becomes eligible for class ranking only after he or she has been a student in the District for more than one semester or 91 days. Class rank is only recalculated after a final grade has been submitted at the end of the school year. GPA and class rank is calculated based off of courses taken at SCELA.
