Promotion Requirements

Promotion to the next grade level

Students are promoted to the next grade level if they pass all core subjects by earning a 60% “D” or higher in each subject area and demonstrate adequate academic progress.

 

Progress reports are made available every six weeks. Report cards are mailed home at the end of each semester.

 

Retention at current grade level

All students being considered for retention will be notified as early in the year as possible; will be provided opportunities for interventions, supplemental instruction, and/or remediation; and will be afforded all rights in accordance with Education Code 48070.  The decision to promote or retain a student in a grade level is made by the school principal, in consultation with the teachers.  Students may be considered for retention at grade level if:

• Results of CAASPP assessments from the previous school year demonstrate that the student is performing at the “standard nearly met” or “standard not met” level.
• Student’s academic performance/grades are below standard as identified in grading period report cards and/or grade level benchmark assessments. 
• Students’ performance in reading and math on the local verified data assessment is below grade level.
• Any student being considered for retention at grade level must be identified and assisted through a Supportive Learning  Plan that is put into place by the end of December of the current academic school year. 

  

Students with up to two failing subject grades on the second semester report card will have the opportunity to make-up the failed classes in summer school. Students with three or more failing grades will be considered for retention.
