  20. Advanced courses lay strong foundation for future advanced and AP courses. These courses establish a clear pipeline for college bound students to succeed in rigorous coursework. Advanced Courses numeric grade are weighted; two points are added to each semester average. Due to the rigor of advanced courses, students making B’s and C’s and used to making A’s and B’s, they are still getting good academic foundation. ADVANCED COURSE DESCRIPTION

  21. Advanced Courses & Recommendations: • Open Enrollment: • Guidelines are suggested scores to make sure students will be successful in Advanced classes. • Students are advised to check the Accelerated Math, Advanced English and Science guidelines posted on OMS website.(Select Oneonta Middle school from the middle square of the home page, find “News & Events”, click on “Forms” and find the documents.) or click on this link http://bit.ly/1S9M0uL • Students’ performance will be monitored and withdrawal from Advanced courses will be assessed on a case by case basis.
