Students who fail to earn the credit for a class must attend summer session to receive additional hours of instruction in the course and the chance to raise the failing grade to a passing grade.
Academic Students who receive grades below two have not mastered the course material and thus are at risk of entering into academic probation.
Competencies for Discovery Polytech Early College High School students represent their mastery of knowledge and content in the subject areas. A student’s possession of content knowledge guides his or her success in applying the knowledge in performance assessments. In the course syllabus, teachers specify the expectations for a passing grade.
