Our Secondary Summer School Program is designed to support students entering 7th–12th grade who are not yet meeting grade-level standards in reading and/or math. For students entering grades 10–12, it also provides credit recovery opportunities.
Credit Recovery for Grades 9–12
- Focus Areas: English Language Arts (ELA), Math, Science, and Social Studies.
- Student Selection: School-based teams (including counselors, teachers, and administrators) will review student transcripts and prioritize those who would benefit most from summer school based on their credit needs in the four core areas.
- Limited Space: Students will be notified if they are selected to attend.
- Additional Credit Retrieval Options: If your student is credit-deficient but not identified for summer school, there will be other opportunities, including:
- LEAP classes during the school day, where students can complete courses through Fuel Ed.
- After-school Credit Recovery beginning in Fall 2025.
Pre-Algebra for 9th Grade Transition
- For students entering 9th grade who are not yet meeting math standards.
