Life School offers credit recovery for high school courses during the summer and throughout the school year. Depending on the student's schedule and the credit/course needed, students are either placed in the course for a second time, or they are offered an opportunity to obtain credit by completing an online course. 

Life School issues numerical grades for grades 3-12. Anything below a 70 is considered failing.

The answer depends on your child's grade level.  For students in grades K-12 with year-long courses, the first semester average will be combined with the second semester average for an overall yearly average. If the overall average is a 70 or higher, the student will be considered passing, but may be required to attend summer school if he/she fails the STAAR assessment for Math or Reading.

Students in grades 9-12 with single-semester courses who earn a grade below 70 for the semester will not receive credit for the course. These students may need to repeat the course again or attend summer school in order to obtain credit. Further details of our promotion/retention guidelines are outlined in the Life School handbook.

We do not offer a GED program at this time.

Life School follows Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) to encourage positive student behavior. With PBIS, we teach kids about behavior expectations and strategies. The focus PBIS is prevention (re-enforcing positive behavior), not punishment.

The school calendar and daily schedules are available online.

Life School continues a 9-weeks grading calendar. There is a first 6-week check for eligibility where students can lose eligibility followed by a 9-week report card where students can again lose or regain eligibility. After the first 9-Week Report, students can only regain eligibility if passing everything at each 3 weeks progress report and only lose eligibility at the 9-week grading report.
