Transcript Policy: Traditional high school courses taken in middle school are not included on the transcript. It can be assumed that students who begin high school in a second year or higher-level course have completed the introductory level(s) successfully before entering ninth grade. Barrington High School does not report test scores on transcripts and can verify only information that is part of a student's permanent record.

Grade Replacement Policy: Students may replace the grade they receive in a course by repeating the course. The course must be completed within 15 months of completing the course they are repeating, and must be taken prior to or concurrently with the next course in the sequence. Only the higher grade will be counted for course credit and GPA purposes. All courses will remain on the transcript. The higher grade will be reflected in the term that the grade was earned. The course in which the lower grade was earned will remain on the transcript with an "R" (repeat).

Disciplinary Records Policy: District 220 does not share student disciplinary records with post-secondary institutions.
