What is considered adequate progress?
CategoriesDepartment |
A student is considered making adequate academic progress if the student is passing at least 70% of his/her course load when grades are measured. A student on a 4 x 4 block schedule must pass 3 out of 4 courses each semester. A student on a traditional calendar must pass 5 out of 6 courses the first semester and pass 5 out of 6 courses for the year.
Example 1 - A student on the 4 x 4 block passes only 2 courses during the first semester. The DMV will be notified at the end of the first semester and will revoke the student’s permit or license. If the student is able to pass at least 3 courses during the second semester, a DEC will be issued to the student.
Example 2 - A student on the traditional 6-period day has passing grades in 5 classes the first semester but only passes 4 classes for the entire year. At the end of the school year, the DMV will be notified and will revoke the student’s permit or license.
Example 3 - A student on the 4 x 4 block passes 4 courses the first semester but only passes 2 courses the second semester. At the end of the second semester, the DMV will be notified and will revoke the student’s permit or license. A DEC can be issued to the student at the end of summer school upon passing one course or at the end of the first semester of the next school year upon passing at least 3 courses.
