Matriculation - Academic Load Requirements

Matriculation to the next grade level is based on credits earned, not years in attendance. Students will be reclassified by the eighteenth day of the first semester.
Specifically:

Parents should expect to receive correspondence regarding their child's academic status each year. Parents should call their child's counselor if they have any questions about their grade level classification.

Required High School Student Class Load

The State of Nevada, NAC 387.345, requires all high school students be enrolled as follows:

• Ninth, tenth, and eleventh grade students must be enrolled in six classes or the equivalent of six periods per day,
• Twelfth grade students must be enrolled in four classes or the equivalent of four periods per day.
  [Seniors must take two classes per day on the block schedule.]

Please Note: Although Concurrent Courses, Distance Education, Dual Credit, External Courses, and Work Experience are considered equivalent coursework, students must receive prior approval of the counselor and administration.
