Judgments regarding the placement of a student in specific levels of a course are based on the student’s past performance in the subject as well as the student’s standardized testing record, where applicable. The subject teacher(s) makes a recommendation for the level of instruction appropriate for the next school year. Students, with parent request, may elect more challenging courses than recommended. Such decisions must be considered seriously as changes during the school year could be very difficult. Decisions are subject to review each year.
