Credit Recovery Academy: Grades 7-12

The Credit Recovery Academy provides an opportunity for students to recover one high school course credit. Students may not take these courses for new course credit. Students are eligible to enroll in a Credit Recovery Academy course if they have previously received a grade of F. Students who have passed Algebra 1 may take the Credit Recovery Academy course to improve their understanding and skills before the next school year. Students will receive a grade; however, no additional course credit will be awarded. Parents of middle school students who retake Algebra 1 over the summer, should work with their student’s counselor in deciding to expunge one of the passing Algebra 1 course grades before the end of the first quarter of the following school year.

Registration for Credit Recovery Academy courses will open Monday, April 27.
