Promotional Criteria

IN ORDER TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT GRADE, EACH STUDENT MUST:

1. Earn a 2.0 (70) or above final average in: ELA, Math, Science, Social Studies, PATH, SR. Please note, the DOE requirement for passing courses is a 65 average, however students who are averaging a 65 in their classes will be severely disadvantaged in the high school application process, which is why we have defined passing as being at least a 70. 

2. Demonstrate socio-emotional readiness for the next grade, as demonstrated by weekly LiveSchool Checks and Advisory grades.

3. Make two years’ growth, or reach grade-level proficiency, in: reading, math, and writing, as demonstrated by Baseline, Midline, and Endline assessments.

4. What are my choices if my child does not meet one or more of the promotional criteria?

My Child Can:

1. Attend summer school and create a portfolio of work to demonstrate readiness for the next grade. If the portfolio demonstrates readiness, then the child will be promoted.

2. Repeat the grade.
