However, students may opt to re-take the course in high school for a better grade, if they want to improve their GPA. Families interested in these options should speak to a school counselor or administrator for criteria details.


Advanced English (Grade 8)

Students qualify through their MEAP scores, their grade 7 English Language Arts grades, and teacher and parent recommendations. Families interested in these options should speak to a school counselor or administrator for criteria details.
