subject area and are also used to inform decisions made about each student, including but not limited to scheduling and promotion to the next grade level. Required Academic Program for the High School YES Prep commits to preparing each student for success in college or university coursework. Therefore, the requirements for graduation from a YES Prep school include more than simply putting in “seat time” to earn credits. In order to earn a high school diploma from YES Prep Public Schools, each student must fulfill the following requirements: A student must earn at least 24 credits of high school coursework, including the following minimum requirements: English Mathematics Social Studies Science World Languages Fine Arts Physical Education Health Communication Applications (Speech) 4 credits, to include: English I, English II, English II, and English IV AP English Literature and/or AP English Language may be substituted for English III and IV 4 credits, to include: Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and Pre- Calculus 4 credits, to include: World Geography, World History, U.S. History, Government (1/2 credit), and Economics (1/2 credit) 4 credits, to include: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and an additional science elective 3 full credits in one language other than English 1 full credit (2 semester-long classes) 1 full credit (2 semester-long classes) 1 half credit (1 semester-long class) 1 half credit (1 semester-long class) High School Advanced Coursework Requirement Every YES Prep student must take and pass at least one Advanced Placement or dual-credit course for high school credit in order to be eligible to receive his/her high school diploma. Special permission from the Director of College Counseling or High School Principal is necessary to carry more than three AP courses in any one academic year. High School Assessment Requirement A student must receive passing scores on required state assessments as set forth by the State of Texas. These assessments and requirements may vary from year to year depending on a student’s entrance date in ninth grade. Please contact your school administration for more information. College Acceptance Requirement A student must both be accepted to, and commit to, at least one four-year college or university in order to be eligible for a YES Prep high school diploma. 16
Service Back to the Community Requirement In addition, all YES Prep seniors are required to engage in an intense, focused service project in their senior year which includes research, a week-long (40-hour) immersion in a local organization, and culminates in a presentation to peers, school faculty and staff, and community members. Grading Policies YES Prep courses are generally organized into semesters. Most core academic courses span two semesters, while many elective courses are one semester long. Students’ grades for each semester are determined by averaging the grades from three six-week grading cycles, with additional weight given to results from common assessments or final exams, as appropriate. Refer to the YES Prep yearly calendar available on www.yesprep.org for report card distribution dates. Grading Scale YES Prep grades on a number and letter system. Please refer to the table below for conversions; grade points are only awarded for courses taken for high school credit. Some students enroll in high-school level classes while still in middle school; these courses do factor into a student’s GPA and the grades in these courses will be reported on the student’s official transcript. Please note that YES Prep does not award a grade of “D” for any work done. Each assignment, including class work, projects, labs, exam and quizzes, and all other graded work, receives either a passing grade, meaning it meets YES Prep standards, or a failing grade, meaning that it currently does not mean YES Prep standards. Number Grade Letter Grade Grade Points (for credit classes only) 100-97 A+ 4.33 96-93 A 4 92-90 A- 3.67 89-87 B+ 3.33 86-83 B 3 82-80 B- 2.67 79-77 C+ 2.33 76-73 C 2 72-70 C- 1.67 Below 69 F 0 Awarding Credit from Other Schools YES Prep will award credit earned at other public schools. Students seeking to have credit awarded from institutions other than Texas public schools must present a report card or transcript indicating the credits earned at the previous institution; YES Prep may require additional information (such as course syllabus) in order to award credit. YES Prep reserves the right to deny credit to a student who earned a “D” at another institution; in such cases, the student may petition to take a YES Prep competency exam in order to demonstrate proficiency in that subject area and be awarded credit for a passing score. 17
