In 9th grade, students begin to earn credit toward high school graduation. It is our plan that all students will leave NDPA with those necessary 9th grade credits which include Language Arts, Math, Biology, Computer Technology, Geography, Participation Skills and Techniques (PE), along with 1.5 elective credits. There are several options available for students and parents to recover credit when a student has failed a required class.
The NDPA Credit Recovery policy allows students who have failed a class to immediately make up the lost credit. This agreement is between the student and the teacher. If the student failed a class but earned 45% or higher they may request Credit Recovery from their teacher.
