Classes Earning High School Credit
8th graders taking Algebra, Geometry, Advanced Physical Science, and Spanish 1 will receive high school credit for the course. The grades from these courses will impact the high school GPA. Student can retake the course as a 9th grader if they wish to earn a higher grade. When retaking a course, the higher of the two grades will impact the GPA, the lower grade will not. However, the transcript will show both classes and both grades. This policy is true for the matching 9th grade classes, even if it has a slightly different title. For instance, the 9th grade physical science class is the retake for 8th grade advanced physical science. The 9th grade physical science grade will be factor into GPA as the "retake" course if the student earns a higher grade during their 9th grade year.
