Requirements for Grade Advancement:
The following criteria will be used to determine if a student may be considered for grade advancement. MAP and state assessment scores, demonstration of academic proficiency in all core subjects, as well as social readiness and student maturity will be factors used for consideration. Some type of credit for each core course must be earned by the student with either mastery of tests and/or completion of KnowledgeUnits. Other assessments may be required but will be determined on an individual basis. The final decision for a student to bypass a grade will be made by a committee consisting of the parent, teachers, and school administration.
Diagnostic Reading Assessment:
A student in Grade 7 who does not have a score for the statewide reading assessment from Grade 6, or received a failing grade on the Grade 6 state reading assessment will be administered a reading diagnostic exam during the first six weeks of school. Additional reading instruction and intervention will be given to each student in Grade 7 who did not meet the passing standard on the Grade 6 state assessment in reading. This intervention may take place before, after, or during the school day.
