4. Endorsement Requirements

5. STAAR EOC Testing Requirements

6. Pre-AP and AP Courses
These are advanced courses that move at a faster pace.
They require more homework, outside reading, & projects.
On average, 45 minutes of homework per Pre-AP/AP class is standard
They are intended to prepare you for college level classes.
There is a ten point weight that is added to your GPA for each class
Example: Sally Smith takes Pre-AP English I and makes a 95 for her semester average. 95 shows on Sally’s transcript. Her GPA is calculated with a 105 for this course, due to the 10 point weight.
Steve Smith takes regular English I and makes a 95. This grade shows on his transcript and goes into his GPA as a 95.
So while both students made the same grade, Sally’s GPA will be higher because of the 10 points added in her GPA Calculation.
