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 course guide.
