ELEMENTARY STUDENTS
In general, students will be placed at the grade level to which they are best adjusted academically, socially, and emotionally.
In the elementary grades, students will usually progress annually from one (1) grade to the next. However, in cases where it has been determined that retention or promotions is in a particular student’s best interest, he or she may be retained in the same grade for one (1) additional year or promoted one (1) year. Such retention must be cleared in advance by the building principal and discussed in advance with the parent of the child.
The student’s teacher(s) may recommend retention or promotion. A team composed of the teacher(s), counselor, principal, and parent/guardian will review all aspects of the student’s physical, intellectual, educational, social, familial, and psychological characteristics and determine whether the student should be retained or promoted.
SECONDARY STUDENTS
In secondary programs a student’s progress will be determined by the number of credits earned in each of the required content areas
