Teacher Recommendations

Teachers make course recommendations based on a variety of criteria including, grade in the current course, work ethic, and interest in the course. It is recommended that a student seeking to move from College Prep to Honors level course(s) should conference with their teacher, demonstrate a level of mastery in the subject matter, and should maintain at least a “B-” average in the College Prep course in which they are currently enrolled.

In order to continue enrollment in the Honors level in a subject area when selecting his or her schedule for the following academic year, it is recommended that a student maintain at least a “C” average in the Honors level course in which they are currently enrolled.

Important:

Please remember that recommendations are only suggestions. Teacher recommendations only consider current performance in a similar subject and do not take into account the number of Honors or AP courses for which the student may be recommended.

For each additional Honors or AP course added to a student’s schedule, both the rigor and time commitment will increase.

Parents and students should consider extracurricular activities and other responsibilities prior to course selection. Use this Time Management Worksheet to assist your child. Please be mindful and have conversations with your child's counselor if you have a concern about how adding too many Honors or AP courses may impact your child’s well-being.
