To be promoted from grade 6 to grade 7, a student shall have a grade average of 70 or better on a scale of 100 in each of the subjects of language arts composite (the average of language arts and reading), mathematics, science, and social studies.

To be promoted from grade 7 to grade 8, a student shall have passed at least six full-year courses including language arts composite (the average of language arts and reading), mathematics, science, and social studies with an average in each course of 70 or better on a scale of 100.

To be promoted from grade 8 to grade 9, a student shall have passed at least six full-year courses including language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies with an average in each course of 70 or better on a scale of 100. Two semester electives shall equal one full-year course. In addition to the promotion requirements placed on Grades 2-12, Grades 3, 5, and 8 must also meet the additional standards established by the State’s Student Success Initiative.

The Student Success Initiative was created by the Texas Legislature to ensure that all students receive the instruction and support they need to be successful in reading and mathematics.
 * __ Student Success Initiative: __**

Under the Student Success Initiative grade advancement requirements, students are required to meet the passing standard on the Grade 3 Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) reading test to be promoted to fourth grade, and to meet the passing standard on the Grade 5 TAKS reading and mathematics tests to be promoted to sixth grade. The requirements also apply to students served by special education who take TAKS Accommodated, TAKS Modified, and TAKS Alternative.

The grade advancement requirements apply to students who take the Grade 8 reading and mathematics TAKS, TAKS Accommodated, TAKS Modified, and TAKS Alternative tests.

Students have three opportunities to meet their testing requirements for their grade level and will receive additional instruction after each testing opportunity on which they do not meet the standard. A grade placement committee, consisting of the principal, teacher, and parent or guardian, meets when a student has not met the passing standard after two testing opportunities and decides the most effective way to support a student’s academic success. A student who does not meet the passing standard after three testing opportunities is automatically retained; however, if the parents appeal the retention, the grade placement committee may choose to promote the student if all members agree that the student is likely to perform on grade level with additional instruction.

In addition, the EXIT level graduation requirement currently states that students must pass the EXIT level TAKS tests in all core subject areas in order to graduate. These tests are administered in the 11th grade. Students have three opportunities per school year to meet the passing standard on each of the tests and will receive additional instruction after each testing opportunity on which they do not meet the standard.
