PVPUSD Board Policy aligns high school graduation requirements and the A–G Subject Requirements to ensure students take college preparatory, honors, and AP courses to be eligible to apply to various colleges and universities.
- A grade of C or better is required for eligibility to UCs and CSUs and many other four-year schools.
- A grade D or better is required in the necessary subjects and/or credits to earn a high school diploma.
- Any F grades earned in a required subject and/or credits toward the minimum 220 for graduation from high school must be retaken before the end of 12th grade.
|
The A–G Subject Requirements means you need to complete a minimum of 15 college preparatory courses (A–G courses) with a grade of C or better. You must complete at least 11 of these courses prior to the beginning of your last year of high school.
The 15 courses are:
- History
- English
- Math
- Science
- World Language
- Visual/Performing Art
- College Prep Elective
|
Counselors meet with students each year to review their Academic Plan and discuss course requests for the next school year. Included in this process is making revisions and updates to the Academic Plan (Four-Year Plan) based on discussion and evaluation of each student’s post-secondary goals and tailoring course requests to help reach goals.
Concerned About Your Grades?
Step 1: Directly contact your teacher(s) to discuss and plan. Visit your teacher's classroom during their designated drop-in/office hours times, during Nutrition, Lunch, before and/or after school when you can.
Step 2: Please allow teachers between 24–48 hours for a response as teachers cannot always access their emails during teaching and outside of work hours.
Step 3: If your concern is regarding support for Math (college prep Algebra-Pre Calculus) or Spanish, please encourage your student to attend Math Lab and Spanish Lab.
- Please see the schedule here.
Step 4: After completing Steps 1-2 and/or 3, please reach out to your counselor for additional support if needed.
Step 5: Stay up-to-date on Aeries and/or Google Classroom
