MIDDLE LEVEL CREDITS In pursuant to Idaho State School Board rules, a middle level credit system has been implemented for students in grades seven (7) and eight (8).
Students will receive one (1) credit per course per semester upon successful completion of the course. Students receiving more than two (2) failing grades in core classes per year will be placed in an alternate route to grade promotion. Students who fail core classes will be placed in a program for credit recovery in order to advance to the next grade.
If applicable an alternative route to grade promotion exists that requires the student to meet three of four possible requirements in order to advance to the next grade:
1. A 2.0 GPA or higher in all classes
2. Finishing the school year with a 2.5 GPA in core classes
3. Earning proficient scores on the ISAT in reading and math
4. Missing no more than 12 days total per school year Alternative requirements will be established for special education students and limited English proficient students when deemed necessary. Reference:
