MATH
All math classes must be taken in a progressive sequence.


High School Credit for Junior High [8th Grade] Algebra

Eighth grade students must meet the following criteria in order to take Algebra II at the high school as a freshman and get credit for Algebra I:

1. Pass the class with any grade.


2. Recommendation of the 8th grade math teacher.

 
You must meet the above criteria to be considered to progress to Algebra II as a freshman. All other students in the 8th grade Algebra I class will take Algebra I as a freshman.

Being in Algebra I as an 8th grader does not mean that a student has to take Algebra II as a freshman. It is the student's decision to make even if they meet the criteria.
