Weighted CourseworkA “weighted” course at Lexington High School is an upper level course, a course that isaccelerated in content, pace, and expectations. Across the curriculum, a “weighted”course will afford students opportunities to study the content area more thoroughly, toenhance technology use, to conduct independent research, and to be more realisticallyprepared for the rigors of post-secondary study. Prior to enrolling in a “weighted”course, students may be required to sign a contract ensuring their commitment to thecourse requirements and expectations. A “weighted” course will continue to receiveextra value in the weighted GPA used for graduation honors purposes.The following are weighted:Advance English 9Advance English 10AP English Literature and CompositionAP English Language and CompositionAP U.S. Government and PoliticsAP U.S. HistoryAdvanced EconomicsAP BiologyAll Dual Credit coursesAP ChemistryAP PhysicsFrench IV and VSpanish IV and VEnriched GeometryEnriched Algebra IIPre-CalculusAP CalculusAll College Credit Plus coursesThe following points are assigned to final grades:Non-weighted 4.0A 4.0 pointsA. 3.67 pointsB 3.33 pointsWeighted 5.0A 5.0 pointsA. 4.67 pointsB 4.33 pointsB 3.0 pointsB. 2.67 pointsB 4.0 pointsB- 3.67 pointsC 2.33 pointsC 2.0 pointsC. 1.67 pointsC 3.33 pointsC 3.0 pointsC- 2.67 pointsD 1.33 pointsD 1.0 pointsF 0.0 pointsD 2.33 pointsD 2.0 pointsF 0.0 pointsThese points are for 1.00 credit courses.

Changing a ScheduleIf a student wishes to request a schedule change and meets the above criteria, he/shemust complete a form which includes the course(s) to add and/or drop, parentalsignature and academic need for the change. Schedule changes are discouraged andrequests for schedule changes will be given close scrutiny.

When repeating a course for credit, the grade earned uponrepeating the course will replace the original grade. This option is only available to astudent earning a ‘C’ or lower in a course. Incomplete PolicyAn Incomplete (I) may be given under certain situations in lieu of a grade when astudent does not complete the requirements of the course. The student must makearrangements with the teacher to fulfill those requirements. Teachers must submit finalgrades for each student upon completion of the course, or indicate to the principal whatarrangements have been made to remove the incomplete. As the need arises,accommodations for Individual situations shall be made by the building principal.Each student has two weeks after the last day of the grading period to fulfill therequirements of the course, upon returning from an extended absence (three days ormore). Any work not made up will be recorded as failing. Exceptions to this policy mustbe approved by the principal. Philosophy of EducationThe basic function of education is the development of the inherent abilities of eachstudent. Therefore, our curriculum must meet the needs and desires of every student ona mental, cultural, emotional, social, and physical level. We accept the responsibility fordeveloping fundamental skills, creating an atmosphere for constructive, creative, andreflective thinking.We believe that our school should accept the individual as he/she is and guide him/hertoward maximum growth. We realize that development of the intellect is not sufficient,but that the total personality must be developed. Our school program should create ineach individual an appreciation of the various areas of our culture which includes thehumanities, arts, and sciences. We believe teaching demands that experiences beprovided for students in an effective manner to create a desire for learning and preparethem for the changes that occur daily. From this each student should be able torecognize and appreciate the multicultural and multiracial heritage of our society.14 Page
