1. + Elective Course Enrollments Voorheesville Strategic Plan

2. + Course Enrollment Overview We will review some of the key course enrollment data at the High School We are reviewing enrollments in elective classes and more advanced courses We will gain some insight as to the percentage of our students who take challenging courses, and what types of elective courses our students select

3. + English 10 Honors Course

4. + English 11 Honors Course

5. + AP English Course

6. + AP World History Course

17. + Indications from the Data Advanced English Courses - 30% to 40% of our students take AP or honors courses as replacements for the regular courses AP Social Studies – 30% to 40% of students take AP courses as replacements for the regular courses Electives – Music and Technology courses are taken by 200+ students (some of these would be the same student taking multiple courses) Foreign Language elective enrollments have declined slightly Art elective enrollments have increased Family and Consumer Science HS electives are low in enrollment (FACS HS courses were eliminated due to budget cuts in 2014- 15)

18. + Thoughts for the Future If more students in 8 th grade were to be accelerated (particularly in science) and/or could take credit bearing HS courses (e.g., Art and Music), more students could take advanced coursework and more elective courses in High School What additional elective and advanced courses might we offer to allow students to pursue their interests and to take more advanced offerings? What electives might be considered for elimination due to low student interest? Are there High School scheduling changes that might make it easier for students to take challenging elective courses?
