School Counts! Student Criteria

To participate in the program, students must agree to meet the following four criteria for grades 9-12:

• To make a "C" grade or above in all academic courses.
• To achieve a 95% or better attendance and punctuality record.
• To complete high school in eight consecutive semesters.
• To take more courses than the minimum graduation requirements.

Students achieving all of these specific goals are designated as School Counts! Students and given a certificate of achievement that can be used by prospective employers in making hiring decisions. Parents will also be provided with information about the School Counts! Students criteria and will be asked to support their children’s academic efforts over the coming four years.
