STUDENT GRADE PROGRESSION
For the first three years a student is in high school, the student will advance from one grade level designation to the next based upon completion of a school year of attendance. This will be known as the zero progression plan, whereby a student begins high school as a freshman, the second year of high school attendance will carry a designation of sophomore, the third year of high school attendance will carry the designation of junior. The student will then remain at the junior designation until the student has met the grade level classification to be a senior, as indicated in the Student Progression Plan for the appropriate graduating class.
Students are classified by the grade level as follows (Must have the required credits and GPA):
Grade Level |
Required Credits |
State GPA |
9 |

10 |
