Promotion and Graduation

In order for a student (K5 to 8^th grade) to be promoted to the next grade, they must achieve a yearly average of “C” or above in all academic subjects (Bible, Reading, Language-Phonics, Arithmetic, History-Geography and Science).

After careful review of the student’s academic, behavior and attendance record, the Board may or may not decide, due to special circumstances, to promote a student who has not met the above criteria.

9^th-12^th grade students earn credits for completed coursework. Promotion for these students delineates as follows:

To be promoted to 10^th grade – 5 credits

To be promoted to 11^th grade – 11 credits

To be promoted to 12^th grade – 17 credits
