What does my child need to do to pass the fourth grade?
To pass the fourth grade your child needs to pass the academic classes as well as the LEAP test. If your child fails the LEAP but passes the academic classes, he/she may go to summer school and take the LEAP test again. If your child passes the summer LEAP he/she will pass on to the fifth grade. If your child fails the academic classes, but passes the LEAP he/she will repeat fourth grade. Summer school is not offered for academic classes. If your child fails both the LEAP and the academic classes he/she will be retained. Back to Top

What does my child need to do to pass the LEAP test?
Your child will take four parts of the LEAP test, Math, ELA (English Language Arts), Science, and Social Studies. Your child must pass the Math and ELA parts of the test. The Science and Social Studies parts can not pass or fail your child. The scores for Science and Social Studies do effect our school score. There are five scoring levels on the LEAP, Advanced (highest), Mastery, Basic, Approaching Basic, and Unsatisfactory (lowest). The minimum level your child needs to pass the LEAP is to score a Basic or above on either Math or ELA and an Approaching Basic on either Math or ELA. Your child cannot score two Approaching Basics in ELA and Math. Your child cannot score Unsatsifactory in ELA or Math. Our goal is to have all students score Basic and above!Back to Top
