COUNSELORS

The IGP is an individual graduation plan that will be the road map to your student’s graduation. An Individual Graduation Plan guides students toward their education, career and employment goals. IGPs also help students align high school courses with college entrance requirements.

These plans are flexible and can change based on a student’s aspirations, abilities and interests.

Knowledge is Power, so learn all you can for the best possible future you can have.

Grade ClassificationsGrade classification is based on units earned, not years of attendance in

high school.

• Students entering year one of high school for the first time will be

classified as freshmen regardless of units earned prior to their first year in high

school. Students are promoted to the next level of classification or retained in

their current classification based on the following criteria:

• To be classified as a sophomore, typically the second year of high

school, a student must have a minimum of 6 units of credit with at least 1 credit

in English, 1 in Math, and 4 additional credits.

• To be classified a junior, typically the third year of high school, a student

must have earned a minimum of 12 units, including 2 units of English, 2 units of

Math, 1 unit of Science, and 1 unit of Social Studies.

• To be classified as a senior, typically the fourth year of high school, a

student must have earned a total of 16 units of credit and have received 3 units

in English, 3 units in Math, 2 units in Science and 2 units in Social Studies, 1

unit in PE/JROTC, 1 in fine arts and 1 year in a Foreign Language.

In order to earn a high school diploma in this state, students must

earn the following credits:

SC UGS

• 90-100% = A

• 80-89% = B

• 70-79% = C

• 60-69% = D

• 50-59% = F

CP = College Prep courses

Students receive an extra .5 GPA

points for Honors classes.

Attendance

If a student has more than TENunexcused absences in a course, he/she will receive a grade of F and will be denied credit for the course.
