Middle School Promotion Requirements (6-8)
2. Teachers and administrators have an obligation to provide timely intervention so that students may recover courses (core or elective) during the academic year.
3. One core course failed and not recovered during the academic year may be recovered during DCPS Summer Education Programs (if available) or during the summer through a private or out-of-county provider to meet course requirements for promotion.
Note: A student with a disability who has been grade-adjusted through the ESE Reevaluation Review Team shall be promoted based on the credits earned in the years completed during middle school. Promotion for these students is not dependent on credits for grades missed by the student due to the grade-adjustment.
Note: For students entering ninth grade for the first time in 2011-2012 and thereafter, the Algebra I requirement MUST be satisfied by passing the State of Florida Algebra I End of Course Assessment or by passing a comparable standardized, statewide End of Course Assessment in another state. Beginning in the 2012-2013 year students enrolled in Biology and Geometry are required to take the state EOC and the state EOC shall count as 30% of the final grade. In 2013-2014, middle school students are required to take the state EOC for Civics; it shall count as 30% of the final grade.
Note: A student with a disability, as defined in 1007.02 (2) F.S., for whom the Individual Education Plan Team determines that an end-of-course assessment cannot accurately measure the student’sabilities, taking into consideration all allowable accommodations, shall have the end-of-course assessment results waived for the purposes of determining the student’s course grade and completing the requirements for middle grades promotion. This process cannot take place until AFTER the student has taken and failed the state EOC.
