  12. How important is it to earn credits? • It is ESSENTIAL to success! • Credits determine what grade you are in. • Credits determine whether or not you may progress to the next level of classes. • Credits/GPA and Testing determine if you may take dual enrollment classes at LSCC. • Credits GPA and Testing determine whether or not you will graduate.

  13. How important is my GPA? • Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is the second half of graduation • You must have at least a 2.0 unweighted cumulative GPA to graduate. • Every class you take counts including HS credits taken in middle school. • Every D (1 point) or F (0 points) reduces your GPA and hurts your chance for a successful graduation. • Honors and AP classes count more than regular!

  14. Know Your Graduation Requirements By graduation, students must have… 24 total credits • 4 English credits • 4 Math credits Including Algebra I, and Geometry • 3 Rigorous Science credits including Biology

  15. Know Your Graduation Requirements • 3 Social Studies credits including World and US History as well as Government (.5 credit) and Economics (.5 credit) • 1 credit of HOPE (different from PE) • PE (Sports or Weight Lifting) • 1 PF/PA=Performing/Fine/Practical Art credit

  16. Know Your Graduation Requirements • At least ONE online course as part of the 24 credit total (HOPE at LMHS counts) • Pass 10th grade FSA Reading, 351 • Pass End of Course exams for Algebra, 399 (or concordant exam) • Have a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.0 or better

  19. LSSC Dual Enrollment QUALIFED TEST SCORES ARE: Reading, Writing, and Math PERT Reading (106) Writing (103) Math (114) ACT Reading (19) Writing (17) Math (19) SAT Reading/ Writing (440) Math (440) • Must be a junior or senior (under revision)

  20. Dual Enrollment VS AP Classes • AP= Counselors and parents can view your grades. Not for DE. Counselors receive only the final grades. • AP teachers can call your parents to inform them that you are doing poorly. • DE=will be treated as an adult college student not as minor. (Teachers cannot speak with parents per FERPA laws) • Counselors support both programs but YOU must be ready to do DE.

  21. Dual Enrollment VS AP Classes • LSSC CLASSES ARE WORTH 6.0 GPA JUST LIKE AP CLASSES. • Both can earn you college credits however in an AP class a student can earn multiple credits depending on how they score on their exam. • Earning 4 or 5 or higher in 1 AP exam can result to 6 college credits. For example, if you pass AP Lang with a 4 or 5, you will skip ENC 1101 and 1102. Make sure that you give the college a copy of your AP scores so they can add the credits on your transcript. • You are building your college transcript, more permanent than HS. • DE grades will be placed in your permanent college transcript, while AP is only on your high school transcript. • Earning C or lower at the college can prevent you from getting accepted to some universities. • Some universities (Private/Ivy League) might not accept credits earned at a state college.

  22. Course Request Information 1. Talk with your parent/guardian to determine what classes will take your education in the right direction for you. 2.

  23. Will I Get the Courses I Request? • The master schedule in a high school is based on the requests of the students. Choose carefully!
