Levels of Academic Study

Students in the Middle School at Lake Highland are offered two levels of academic study: College
Prep and Honors for select courses. Course placement is carefully considered for each of our
students. To determine placement for each student for the upcoming school year, three aspects of
course performance are considered:

1) Prior year CTP test scores
2) Prior year grade in the respective subject
3) Input from prior year teacher in the respective subject, when applicable

A placement committee will begin reviewing all criteria in mid-May to determine appropriate course
enrollment for each student. These placement decisions will then be sent out to families toward the
end of May. Once placements have been determined, families will be given the opportunity to contest
a placement by submitting an online appeal packet. Final appeal decisions will then be mailed home
th
prior to June 30 .

Summer Classes: Transcript Policies

Courses which students take in the summer typically fall into two categories: enrichment classes and
credit classes.
Many colleges and educational institutions offer summer enrichment programs. These programs
provide opportunities to reinforce scholastic skills and begin laying foundations for new fields of study.
They are usually not intended by the offering institutions to be taken for official high-school credit and
are not granted credit by Lake Highland.
