Lewisville ISD offers some courses at middle school for high school credit. All courses that meet these requirements will receive a minimum of 15 grades (3 test grades) per nine weeks. To receive credit for courses taken at the middle school campus level, a student must receive credit for the entire course. A student may grade average for full credit IF one of the following standards is met:
• The student passes both semesters of the course with a 70 or above in each semester
• The student fails the first semester of the course but has a sufficient score on the second semester resulting in a grade of “70” or higher when averaged with the first semester
• The student passes the first semester and scores between 65 – 69 on the second semester. If the two semester grades averaged together result in a grade of “70” or higher, the student will receive full credit for the course. If the student does not receive full credit in the course, the student must repeat the entire course. Half credits will not be awarded for full credit high school courses taken in middle school.
All high school courses WILL appear on the high school transcript but will not count in GPA with the exception of AP Spanish IV. AP Spanish IV will count in GPA. Students must also meet mandatory attendance requirements to earn high school course credits.
School districts are required to provide each student, at the time the student first registers for one or more classes required for high school graduation, with a written notification of the substance of the Uniform Admission Policy.
