Code: IKAC
Amity School District 4J
Adopted: 11/12/97 Revised: 03/12/03
High School Classes/Courses for Eighth Graders
The district encourages students to perform at the highest level possible in their course work. Recognizing that some upper level elementary school age students are able to master existing high school curriculum, it is the policy of the district to allow eighth grade students, who are qualified, to take designated high school classes/courses. High school credit may be granted, if students taking pre-grade nine courses are required to meet performance criteria that are equivalent to the performance criteria for students taking the same high school classes.
The district will allow the granting of such credit to be used to reduce below 24 the units of credit to be completed in grades 9 through 12 for high school graduation.
