Indio High School’s Science Transition from 9th to 12th Grade

9th Grade / 10th Grade / 11th Grade / 12th Grade
Scenario # specific to the “results” of 9th Grade Biology / Chemistry or Physics
(student choice or recommendation)
(1a) C (both semesters)
(1b) C in one semester & D in one
(1c) C in one semester & F in one
(1d) D in both semesters
(1e) D in one F in one
(1f) F in both semesters / (1a) optional AP/elective sciences
(1b) optional makeup D semester
(1c) Makeup F semester
(1d) optional retake for UC
(1e) Makeup F and/or Both
(1f) Earth Science or-> / (1a) optional AP/elective sciences
(1b) possible AP/elective sciences
(1c) Makeup F semester
(1d) optional retake for UC
(1e) optional Earth Science
(1f) Earth Science full year
#1
C
(both semesters)
& C’s in Algebra I
#2
C in one semester w/ D or F in the other semester
& C’s in Algebra I / Make-up ONE D/F Semester in Biology
(Best for NCLB Prep)
(2a) Pass w/ C
(2b) “D” Grade stays
(2c) “F” becomes a “D” / (2a) Take Chemistry or Physics
(2b) possible Chem or Earth
(2c) Take Earth Science (also if F stays as an F) / (2a) possible AP/elective sciences
(2b & 2c)
Makeup any credits needed for Graduation or UC Acceptance
#3
D in both semesters
A - F in Algebra I / No Science during the 10th Grade year
The NCLB Life Science test “counts” as the student taking a science test. It is possible they will take a refresher course for NCLB Prep depending on how they perform on the Diagnostic Exam given to all 10th graders / Take Earth Science
(3a) C both semesters
(3b) D both semesters
(3c) F in one or both semesters / (3a) optional take Biology & Chemistry to gain UC eligibility
(3b) No Science or Earth Science for 1st time
(3c) Makeup F(s) to meet Grad requirements
9th Grade / 10th Grade / 11th Grade / 12th Grade
Scenario # specific to the “results” of 9th Grade Biology / RETAKE Biology
(4a) C (both semesters) & C in Algebra I
(4b) C (both semesters) & D in Algebra I
(4c) “D” in one or both semesters
(4d) One or more F’s / (4a) Chemistry or Physics
(4b) Take Earth Science or >
(4c) Take Earth Science or >
(4d) Take Earth Science / (4a) Take Earth Science if the student receive “F”
(4b) Earth Science 1st time or makeup F(s)
(4c) Earth Science 1st time or makeup F(s)
(4d) Makeup any F(s)
#4
F in both semesters
A - F in Algebra I
#5
D in one semester
& F in other
A - F in Algebra I / RETAKE Biology
(5a) TWO Semesters of C in Biology & C in Algebra I
(5b) Retake with 2 D’s or replace F w/ D
(5c) No ‘F’ change / (5a) Take Chemistry or Physics
(5b) Take Earth Science or ->
(5c) Take Earth Science / (5a) Earth Science if he/she receives any F’s in Chem/Phys (or possible AP/elective sciences)
(5b) Earth Science 1st time or makeup any F’s
(5c) Makeup any F’s
Biology offered as a 12th Grade Credit Recovery class
9th Grade / 10th Grade / 11th Grade / 12th Grade
Scenario # specific to the “results” of 9th Grade Biology / No Science during the 10th Grade year
The NCLB Life Science test “counts” as the student taking a science test. It is possible they will take a refresher course for NCLB Prep depending on how they perform on the Diagnostic Exam given to all 10th graders / Take Chemistry or Physics
(IF they have C in Algebra I)
(6a) C in both semesters
(6b) Receive an F in any semester
(6c) DO NOT Meet the Algebra Requirement Take Earth Sci. / (6a) optional AP/elective sciences
