Academic Placement

Marina works hard to do an efficient job of assigning students to classes. However, not all class assignments can be settled on the first day of school, as explained below.

During the first few weeks of school in the Fall, a student's class schedule may change if they are reassigned to a different class or teacher. The challenges of student scheduling and academic placement are working hard to ensure every student is placed into the appropriate classes as quickly as possible.

Our counseling team works diligently to review important information such as report card data, test score information, and elective preference to assist in placing students in the correct line of classes.
