Things to Consider While Planning for High School
The 4X4, 26-credit graduation program means 4-year planning is more important that ever before
State testing remediation classes come before program elective credits.
Have a “back-up” plan for full classes, alternate selections are more important.

What Does it Take to be a 10th Grader?
At least 6 credits
Q – At the end of your 9th grade year, you have 5 credits because you failed Algebra 1 and Biology. You really don’t want to be a 9th grader again. What are your options?
A – ?

However, keep in mind that…
every class you take is important! every CREDIT COUNTS! although you may be promoted to 10th
grade, you will still have to earn EVERY credit required BEFORE you are eligible for graduation.
