Acceleration and Retention 

  1. It is not the general policy of this school to double promote a student.
  2. It is the policy of this school to place students transferring to Renton at the recommended level of the sending school.
  3. A student will earn credit for the successful completion of a course at the end of each semester.
  4. To be promoted: A student must pass two of the three credits in each of the four academic areas, which must be learned (Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, and Science).  This is based on a six-hour program.
