Credit Recovery Explanation:

• A credit recovery course is retaking a course for credit that your student has taken in the regular classroom environment but has failed with a final course average of 50% or higher. 
• Completing a credit recovery course will not remove the original failing grade from a student’s transcript. However, it will keep the failing grade from being counted in your student’s final GPA,  and it will give your student the needed credit towards graduation. 
• If a student completes a course for Credit Recovery, the highest grade he/she can make for that course is a 60%/D.
• To be eligible to take an EOC course (Eng. 9 and 10, Alg 1, Alg 2, Geometry, US History, Biology), a student must have earned at least a 50% average in the classroom.
• Other offered courses can be taken for credit recovery if the student failed with lower than a 50% average (Math App, Eng. 11, Eng. 12, world history, US Government, economics, personal finance, earth science, environmental science, chemistry, wellness 1 and 2)

All course selections will be reviewed by the Summer School Coordinator to confirm eligibility.  If you request a course your student is not eligible to take, the coordinator may suggest a different course that is more appropriate.
