Differences between Middle School and High School
Middle School:
No credits for progression
To pass to the next grade you have to have a 2.0 GPA
Summer school forgives all “F” grades
Attendance does not take away credit
No graduation requirements GPA is not cumulative year
to year
HIGH SCHOOL
To pass to the next grade (10th) you have to have 6 credits
You need 26 required credits to graduate, a 2.0 and passing FCAT/EOC exams (IB requires 3.0 GPA)
Each “F” grade requires a “do it over” for grade replacement/credit
Credit attachment is based on grade AND attendance
GPA is cumulative by semester (Transcript)
