How Important Are My Grades?
- As long as you earn a grade of D- or better, each class earns 5 credits per semester towards graduation. A grade of an F earns you no credits and requires that you repeat the class.
- A grade of a D will not qualify you for college admission. You must earn a grade of a C- or better in order to go to a 4 year college after high school.
- You must also earn a grade of a C- or above for BOTH semesters in all Math, Science, and Foreign languange classes in order to progress to the next level.
