Grade Level Credit Requirements

GRADE LEVEL ASSIGNMENTS
Once a student enters ninth grade, earning credits is the only way to progress to the next grade. Each course typically counts for 0.5 credit per term. At the end of the year, including summer school, number of credits earned determines the next year’s grade placement.
