  3. High School Readiness Pre-Survey

  4. High School Readiness Pre-Survey

  5. Intermediate School • A student must pass 45 credits a year to earn a regular promotion to the next grade. • It does not matter what classes you pass as long as you earn 45 credits in the school year. • A student does not have to retake a failed class. • Each year starts a new cycle of earning 45 credits.

  6. The Credit System • Every class you take at Lathrop or high school is worth 5 credits. • When you pass a class with a grade of an A, B, C or D you earn the 5 credits. • The normal school day at Lathrop and HS is six class. • 6 classes X 5 credits = 30 credits • 30 credits X 2 semesters = 60 credits • It takes 45 credits a year to pass grade in Intermediate school. • 60 credits X 4 years = 240 credits

  7. High School CLASS STANDING Grade placement is determined by the amount of credits that have been earned. CLASS STANDING 9TH Grade Freshman = 0-45 Credits 10th Grade Sophomore = 50-95 Credits 11th Grade Junior = 100-150 Credits 12th Grade Senior = 160+ Credits 1st Graduation Requirement = 220 Credits (44 Classes)

  8. High School Credit System CLASS STANDING Remember grade placement is determined by the amount of credits that have been earned, not the number or years you’ve been in high school, how old you are or the classes you are taking. Is it possible to be in your 3rd year of high school and be taking U.S. History (a 11th grade class) and not have the credits to be a junior? Let’s take a look at Kevin’s case: Kevin is in his third year of high school. As mentioned above, he is enrolled in U.S. History and is also taking English 11, both 11th grade classes. Kevin also failed one semester of PE, Art and Earth Science in 9th grade. He took French in 10 grade and failed both semesters. He has failed 25 credits and has earned 95 credits out of a possible 120. As a result, Kevin is in the 10th grade, even though he is taking 11th grade classes, because he must have at least 100 credits to be in the 11th grade.

  9. High School Graduation Requirements High School has two Graduation Requirements: The first requirement tells you how many credits you have to pass. • High School requires that you pass a certain number of credits. However, in high school you must earn them over four years of high school. • In Intermediate school you are required to pass 45 credits a year in order to promote. The second requirement tells you what classes you have to pass. These are called High School Graduation Course Requirements. • Lathrop does not tell you what classes you need to pass.
