Retaking a Course

Students must retake courses or complete credit recovery that they have failed if those courses are required for graduation. If a student retakes the full course then their previous failing grade is replaced by the new course. This will help students recover their GPA. Students may not retake a course they have already passed since it is not possible to earn credit for the same course twice. (There are a few exceptions to this State Board of Education guideline including performance courses like Band and Physical Conditioning.) Accuracy of the historic record and fairness to all students are guiding principles for this school practice. Rare exceptions will be considered on appeal to the principal.

Credit Recovery

Students can do credit recovery for any core class that they have previously failed. This is completed through an online program called Apex. Students are able to do this in the fall, spring and summer. Students are able to take a pretest and only complete the units in which they still need to learn. This gives the student credit for the course, however, the previous failing grade will continue to be on the student's transcript and count in GPA.
