Credits / Promotion
In order to be promoted to the tenth grade, a student must earn at least 30 credits. A student who earns less than
a total of 30 credits will be retained in the ninth grade; 60 credits are necessary for placement as 11th grade
student; 80 credits are necessary for placement as a 12th grade student.

Credits will be assigned on the same basis to all high school courses offered by the Board of Education. In all
cases, mastery of course proficiencies shall be assessed by the school district. Credits shall be assigned by the
number of times a class meets each week during the school year. One credit will be granted for each period a
week with a passing grade. The maximum number of credits in any course will be ten per year. When taking a
semester course, credit will be awarded at the end of the semester and the credits and grade will be final at that
point.
