  5. Graduation Requirements  Thirty years ago, students who entered the workforce right out of high school could still get a well-paying job that allowed entry to the middle class. That time has passed. Finding and keeping a job that pays well requires higher-order thinking skills—those that we want every LAUSD student to learn. We want our graduates to be ready for the 21st century workplace by making the high school diploma a document that gives students the choice to transition straight into a California 4-year college or into a career. LAUSD will implement the new graduation requirements in two phases, beginning with the Class of 2017 by: Reestablishing the minimum number of credits to graduate from 230 to 210 (including Health) so students have more chances to prepare for and pass A-G courses.  Raising the current passing grade for A-G courses to a “C” or better for the graduating Class of 2017 and beyond so students who apply to any public California university can automatically be considered for admission.

  6. CLASSES REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION: A-G Requirements • Social Studies (A) 2 years • English (B) 4 years • Mathematics (C) 3 years • Lab Science (D) 2 years • World Language (E) 2 years • Visual/Performing Arts (F) 1 year • Electives (G) 1 year or more in advanced course
