These advanced courses frequently carry a College Core weight, which is earned only after completing the full year of the course. We encourage students to take these courses if they believe they have the preparation, skill, and determination to be successful. Success in these classes is achieving a C or better. Progression through the advanced track will prepare students to take college level work while in high school. Once enrolled in the honors courses, it will likely not be possible to move to the traditional level during the school year. MDLP (online) might instead be an option. See the schedule change policy below.Support Courses – If student academic progress and performance indicate need (as measured by grades, AzMERIT, and other assessments), students will be assigned specific remediation courses (including but not limited to Academic Intervention).
