Students must achieve an average of 70 or better in each of the following core-content courses: ELA and/or reading, math, science and social studies.
Students who fail more than two (2) core-content courses during a school year will not be eligible for promotion.
Students must also pass all sections of the STAAR.
Students who have failed one or two core-content course(s) and/or a STAAR exam(s) must successfully complete accelerated instruction during extended year (summer school) to meet promotion requirements.
Successful completion of accelerated instruction during extended year requires 100% attendance and mastery of the objectives for that grade level.
Students who fail one or two core-content course(s) and/or a STAAR exam(s), and who do not successfully complete accelerated instruction during extended year (summer school) can only advance to the next grade by a unanimous decision made by the Grade Placement Committee.
The Grade Placement Committee decision is final and cannot be appealed.
