Acceleration Details
-
Grades K-6:
- Course acceleration is recommended when students meet district established criteria in mathematics. Waivers are not accepted.
Grades 7-12:
- Students may take courses outside of Pine-Richland School District for the purpose of moving ahead in mathematics, science, or world language pathways. A student will not receive credit for the outside course, but the student may move to the next course in the pathway. A student may accelerate in a course pathway, provided:
- The student assumes responsibility for all fees including tuition and textbooks.
- The building principal approves the course in advance.
- The course is offered by an institution approved by the Superintendent or designee.
- The student demonstrates readiness to move into the new pathway course.
- Waivers are not accepted.
- Course acceleration may result in gaps in student learning that could impact student performance in future courses of study. Parents, staff, and students should collaborate and make data-informed decisions related to course acceleration.
