In mathematics, the skills required to be successful are more sequential and developmental than in other courses. Therefore, prerequisites are set for placement in middle school math classes based on a student’s success on standardized tests and class performance.

Spanish, French, German, Latin•LCPS offers six years of Foreign Languages

•It is recommended that a student earn at least a “B+” to take a foreign language in the 7th grade.

In order to select courses that reflect the goal of a balanced academic and extracurricular work load, students and parents should consider the following:

What grades in the subject over the past few years? How much of a time commitment will each course

require? What are the recommendations of my parents,

teachers, and counselors who know me? Am I involved in numerous outside activities that will

limit the amount of time I have for school work? Do I like the subject?

What Should I Take?
