RETAKING COURSES FOR GRADE FORGIVENESS Grade forgiveness may be used to replace a grade of “D” or “F” with a grade of “C” or higher earned in the same or comparable course. Any course grade not replaced according to a district forgiveness policy that conforms to these provisions must be included in the calculation of the cumulative grade point average required for graduation.

Middle school students taking high school courses may use grade forgiveness to replace grades of “C,” “D,” or “F” with a grade of “C” or better.

GRADE POINT AVERAGES Grade Point Averages (GPA) are computed on the following un-weighted, four-point system:

Percentage Grades Letter Quality Quality Points 100-90 A 4 89-80 B 3 79-70 C 2 69-60 D 1 59- 0 F 0

All Lake County standard diplomas require a 2.0 un-weighted GPA. All credit earning high school classes and programs are included in computing GPA. Final course grades are used for GPA.

To participate in extracurricular activities, students must have an un-weighted 2.0 GPA. Incoming ninth graders must be promoted to be eligible to participate in extracurricular activities.

10 Dual enrollment and advanced placement classes will be on a six-point system. Honors classes will be on a five-point system. All other classes will be on a four-point system.

TESTING PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOLS The Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test (FCAT) 2.0 in reading is a student achievement test that specifically addresses a student’s ability to perform on Florida’s academic standards. The FCAT 2.0 test questions and performance tasks measure specific Florida standards.

High school students must pass the 10th grade FCAT 2.0 and End of Course Exams to be eligible for a standard high school diploma.

The Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test: Writing Assessment is administered to all 10th grade students to show their level of writing as compared to other Florida students.

COLLEGE ADMISSION TESTING 10th GRADE PSAT/NMSQT is a preliminary test for the Scholastic Achievement Test (SAT) and indicates how well a student may do on the SAT. Student scores on the PSAT/NMSQT in the eleventh grade are used to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Program. This test is given in October each year. 11th graders must pay the College Board a fee for the PSAT, but the cost for 10th grade PSAT/NMSQT is paid by the state.

POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION READINESS TEST (PERT) is a required, state test used for placement in community colleges. It may not be required if SAT or ACT scores are acceptable for college entrance.

During the spring semester of each school year, Lake-Sumter Community College and Lake County Schools will offer PERT testing on each public high school campus to targeted 11th grade students and interested 9th and 10th grade students. Remediation courses will be available at the high school during the fall of the 12th grade school year for juniors not meeting community college admissions required PERT scores.

The AMERICAN COLLEGE TESTING Program (ACT) offers a college placement test that measures student achievement in English, mathematics, reading and science and an optional writing test. The ACT also provides a composite score that can be used to predict possible success in college courses. Most colleges and universities accept and use the results of this test for admissions and placement purposes. The test is administered several times each year at regional test sites. Students may obtain applications and related information from school counseling offices and/or the College Board website.

SCHOLASTIC ACHIEVEMENT TEST REASONING TEST (SAT) is designed to measure critical reading, writing, and mathematical aptitudes and, along with high school curriculum and grades, is a predictor of success in college courses. Colleges and universities use test scores for admissions and placement purposes. The test is administered several times each year at

11 regional test sites. Students obtain applications and related information from school counseling offices and/or the SAT website.

SCHOLASTIC ACHIEVEMENT TEST SUBJECT TESTS (formerly SAT II: Subject Tests) is an additional Scholastic Achievement Test required by a few select colleges and universities, including the University of Florida. This test is used for placement in subject area courses. Students are advised to talk to their guidance counselor concerning individual needs and test dates.

CAREER PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT All Florida public school eighth grade students prepare for the transition into high school by completing career interest and educational planning coursework. As a condition of promotion to 9th grade, 8th grade students are required to develop an education and career plan through the creation of an electronic Personal Education Plan (ePEP). Students enter high school with an ePEP and educational plan built around their goals, interests, aptitudes, a college or career- technical preparatory course of study.

Each year, high school students update their career and educational plans and ePEP to reflect changing interests and academic. Teachers and counselors work together to provide experiences that familiarize and inform students of a variety of careers available.

Military recruiters administer the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) to eleventh grade students and coordinate the interpretation of this instrument with the counseling department at each high school.

Each high school has a computer work-station or lab where students may access career and college information.
