There are four core classes every 6th grade student is required to take.  All 6th graders must take one Math, Science, English Language Arts and Social Studies course each year.  

6th grade core course options are listed below:

Advanced Mathematics Track for Junior High

Advanced 6th grade math students will cover 6th and selected 7th grade math TEKS in two years.  Advanced math students will take the 8th grade STAAR in 7th grade. In 8th grade, the students on the advanced math track will complete Pre-AP Algebra I in 8th grade with the Algebra I STAAR End of course exam, required for high school graduation. By successfully completing this exam, students will earn one high school math credit in junior high.  This allows the opportunity for students to take additional advanced math courses in high school such as AP Calculus, AP Statistics, and/or dual credit math courses.

The Pre-AP Program (grades 8-12)  is a program offered to schools by the College Board. Pre-AP courses deliver grade-level appropriate instruction through focused course frameworks, instructional resources, and learning checkpoints. Participating schools receive an official Pre-AP designation for each course and the opportunity to bring engaging, meaningful, foundational coursework to all their students across varying levels of abilities. This designation signals consistent, high standards in focused courses that help build, strengthen, and reinforce students’ content knowledge and critical thinking skills.

While our upper-level advanced classes are open enrollment, we encourage you to review the class rigor and expectations both during the school day as well as outside the school day in regard to the level of expectation and time commitment.
