In seventh and eight grades students are placed according to how much they have achieved in each subject area. 7/8CP courses are designed to strengthen subject skills to prepare students for college preparatory (CP) classes or Standard (S) courses in high school. 7/8H courses are for Honors (H) students who have been recognized for exceptionally high achievement (test scores and grades). These courses offer in-depth coverage while providing an added challenge. Click here for the Middle School Information Handbook |
