Grade to Grade Promotion Requirements for Middle School

To meet regular grade to grade promotion requirements, students must successfully pass the equivalent of four full-year courses, three of which must be from the areas of English/language arts, mathematics, science and social studies.

Failed courses must be recovered before exiting middle school. See the school counselor about course recovery options.

* For students that are in the Limited English Proficiency (LEP) or Exceptional Student Education (ESE) programs, please check with the administrator, placement specialist, and/or ESOL curriculum compliance teacher regarding requirements for promotion.

Intensive Reading Requirements

Any student that receives a Level 1 or Level 2 on the FAST ELA test will be placed in an intensive reading class. Each school may differ on the structure of its reading classes, so check with the administrator regarding placement of Level 1 and Level 2 students.
