Math Department

  • Math Math Requirements for Graduation

    1. All 8th and 9th graders are required to take a full year of mathematics.
    2. All students must take 2 math credits throughout their 10th, 11th, or 12th grade years.
    3. All students must take a math course encompassing statistics and probability.
      This statistics and probability requirement may be met in one of the following ways:
      a. Students may take a year-long Geometry Foundations course.
      b. Students may take a semester-long Online Statistics course in their 10th, 11th, or 12th grade years. This course may be taken in conjunction with other math courses.
      c. Students may take a year long FST course.
      d. Students may take a year long Applied Math Course (only offered senior year).
      e. Students may take a year-long Online Advanced Placement Statistics course in which college credit could be earned based on an A.P. Exam test score. (Can be taken in conjunction with any course beyond Algebra 2.)
    • Note that all students must pass both semesters of a math course in order to advance to the next level math course. Students not advancing (or failing at semester) may, by consultation with their math teacher and guidance counselor, be placed in a more appropriate second semester math course.

    Requirements to Move from One Math Course to the Next 

    The following information outlines the recommendations made by members of the math department.

    • Pre-Algebra Part II students must pass second semester with a C- or better to move into Algebra 1 Foundations. If a student receives a Pre-Algebra Part II grade of D+ or lower, they will be re-enrolled in Pre-Algebra Part II for the following year.
    • Algebra 1 Foundations students must pass second semester with a C- or better to move into Geometry Foundations. If a student receives an Algebra 1 Foundations grade of D+ or lower, they will be re-enrolled in Algebra 1 Foundations or in Geometry Foundations based on teacher recommendation.
    • Algebra 1 students must pass the second semester with a C- or better to move into Geometry. If a student receives a grade of D+ or lower, they will be re-enrolled in Algebra 1 or Geometry Foundations based on teacher recommendation.
    • Geometry students must pass the second semester with a C- or better to move into Algebra 2. If a student receives a Geometry grade of D+ or lower, they will be re-enrolled in Geometry or Algebra 2 Foundations based on teacher recommendation.
    • Algebra 2 students must pass the second semester with a C- or better to move to FST. If a student receives a D+ or lower, they will be re-enrolled in Algebra 2 for the following year.
    • FST students must pass the second semester with a C- or better to move to PreCalculus. If a student receives a D+ or lower, they will be re-enrolled in FST for the following year.
    • PreCalculus students must pass the second semester with a C- or better to move to Calculus AB. If a student receives a D+ or lower, they will be re-enrolled in PreCalculus for the following year.
