Junior High School students have a prescribed schedule of classes. Except for identified specific academic needs, all students are required to follow the schedule of classes listed below:

 

Seventh Grade Class Schedule

Language Arts

Math

Health/Life Science

History

Elective Elective

Elective Elective

Physical Education

 

 

Identified students may take a specially designed schedule of classes to meet their specific needs. These students may qualify for intensive reading for two periods, or a shadow math class. In these instances, students should take the additional period in lieu of a science or history class. In rare instances, it may be necessary for a student to be placed in a math support or literacy support class, in lieu of an elective. If it becomes necessary to replace an elective class with a support class, the student must maintain at least one elective class in their daily schedule.

 

PROMOTION REQUIREMENTS

To promote to high school, students are expected to complete the prescribed course of study as outlined above. The objective of the newly adopted junior high school promotion requirements is to determine the course of study that adequately meets the individual needs of every student with the goal to successfully pass the California High School Exit Exam and graduate from Anaheim Union High School District. Several measures will be used to place students in the high school program that will meet their specific academic needs. For some students, this may require a two-year ninth-grade academy to effectively prepare them for graduation while others may be programmed into courses that follow a more traditional four-year path. In the spring semester, counselors will provide notification to those eighth students requiring placement in the ninth-grade academy or into a high school pathway that includes additional academic support.
