COURSES & TESTING
Dual Enrollment | Exams | Grading System | Honor Roll Promotion & Graduation | Report Cards Senior Exam Exemptions | Testing | Testing Schedule Tests for Each Grade Career Center The Career Center at 1615 Miller St. is an extension of the regular high schools and offers many Advancecd Placement and Career Technical courses. The Career Center also houses the Extended Day Program. Transportation is provided to the Career Center twice daily, but students are also able to drive themselves to the campus. Parking is limited and requires a permit. Course Loads & Withdrawal All students should enroll for a full schedule of seven classes, unless given permission by the principal to do otherwise. With administrative approval, a student may withdraw before the halfway point of a course. Students may not transfer to the same course under a different teacher. All efforts will be made to move the student to a similar course, usually at another level (e.g. standard to honors, honors to advance-placement, etc.). All of the previous grades will "follow" the student to the new course, however the student may be required to make up assignments as deemed appropriate by the teacher. Students that choose to withdraw from a course after the halfway point will automatically earn an "F" for that particular course. Dual Enrollment Forsyth Technical Community College offers the opportunity to enroll in college courses free of tuition while a student is in high school. The student is responsible for supplies, purchasing textbooks and other related fees. A student may also enroll for credit at Salem College, Winston-Salem State University or Wake Forest University in elective courses that are not part of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School District's curriculum. For more specific guidelines please see the R.J. Reynolds High School Student Handbook. Exams 1. A final exam will be given in all courses. 2. Only senors may earn an exemption from their exams. 3. A student must take the final exam in order to earn credit for a course. 4. End-of-course tests will count as the final exam for that particular course. 5. Exams will count as at least 25 percent of the final grade. 6. With administrative approval, missed exams should be made up promptly at the end of the semester. A schedule for specific make-up dates will be available at the end of the semester. Grading System R.J. Reynolds High School Evaluates each student's academic performance using a report card. Report cards are issued every nine weeks, with progress reports being issued to students every three weeks during the grading period. Progress reports are distributed to parents via email or as a hard copy given to the student. Student progress in a subject is indicated by letter grades:
Honor Roll To be eligible for the Honor Roll, a student must: Promotion & Graduation Requirements The following number of credits are necessary to be promoted from one grade to the next:
Beginning with the Class of 2010, students also will have to: Report Cards Report cards are sent out as quickly as possible at the end of each quarter. High school report cards take longer to finish, but should be sent home within two weeks of the end of the quarter. Senior Exam Exemptions Seniors may be exempted from their final exams by meeting the following criteria: 1. An "A" grade and no more than three absences. 2. A "B" grade and no more than two absences. 3. A "C" grade and no more than one absence. All seniors are permitted and will be encouraged to take exams even if they are eligible for an exemption. If a senior qualifies for an exemption, he or she shall have the option of taking the exam and counting the exam grade only if it improves the final course average. For more specific information about a student's eligibility for exemption, please see the R.J. Reynolds High School Student Handbook. Testing Tests can be useful, but they are only one way of evaluating a student's performance and needs. Students take many kinds of tests that include: In an effort to ensure an equitable distribution of student tests throughout the week, the following schedule has been developed for teacher-designated and quarterly tests. All efforts will be made by teachers to give their major tests on primary testing days, with the alternate testing day being used as a back-up.
