The curriculum and schedule
of elementary, middle and high schools shall provide flexibility in placing
certain students in programs or subjects normally considered above their grade
level. Scheduling eighth grade students
into subjects above the normal grade level should be done with counseling based
on evidence of ability, past scholastic achievement, and cooperation of the
individual student and his parents or guardian.
When students below the ninth
grade successfully complete courses offered for credit in grades 9 through 12,
credit shall be counted toward meeting the standard units required for
graduation provided the courses meet the requirements of the Standards of
Learning or are equivalent in content and academic rigor as those courses
offered at the secondary level, or verified units of credit provided the
students achieve a passing score on the end of course Standards of Learning
tests.
In any high school
credit-bearing course taken in middle school, a parent may request that the
grade be omitted from the student’s transcript and the student
not earn high school credit for the course. Such request shall be made in the format and
by the deadline set forth in regulations developed by the Superintendent.
