Course Plan

Test Out Procedures for Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and Physical Science

At Boone Community Schools we prioritize providing students with quality academic experiences that fit their needs and match their goals.  However, sometimes students change their minds or a class ends up not being what a student wanted.  In these cases, a student may drop a class.  Below are the parameters for dropping a class a BHS.

The district recognizes that increased academic rigor improves College and Career Readiness. In order to encourage students to continuously challenge themselves by taking courses of increased academic rigor, grade weights will be determined based on each course’s level of academic rigor. In order to recognize that the academic rigor of courses varies, a dual reporting system is used.

Senior Year Plus

Through Senior Year Plus (SYP),  high school students have a variety of options for taking college-credit courses while in high school.  Enacted by the legislature in 2008, Senior Year Plus was created to provide increased and more equal access to college credit and advanced placement courses.  Courses delivered through Senior Year Plus provide students the opportunity to take a rigorous college curriculum and receive, in many cases, both high school and college credit concurrently.
