Grading Policies

Repeating Courses

1. Students may repeat courses for which they earned a D or F by:
   1. Repeating the entire course for a better grade, or
   2. Retaking / demonstrating missed standards in credit recovery or summer school.
2. If a student repeats an entire course, they can earn any letter grade up to an “A.” If a student retakes the missed standards and does not retake the entire course, or retakes the same course via Edmentum, the highest letter grade they can earn is a “C.”
3. Once the course is retaken or recovered, the original “D” or “F” grade is given an “NC” and the higher grade is recorded on the transcript for the semester in which the course was retaken or completed. If the same grade or a lower grade is earned, the original grade will remain, and an “NC” will be transcripted to indicate a repeated course.
4. Students who have earned a “C” or above can retake the course, but they will not receive an “NC” for the original credit, as their original grade reflects proficiency on standards.
5. Students may repeat courses at an outside accredited program or college to acquire the necessary learning. The outside course must substantially match the same standards as the course it is replacing.

Pass/Fail

Students may take some classes on a Pass/Fail basis. Students will need approval of the teacher and administrator. The arrangement to take a class Pass/Fail must be made during the first five weeks of class.
