Kimberly Middle School requires students to attain a minimum of eighty percent (80%) of the total credits attempted in core classes (math, English, science, social studies) before a student will be eligible for promotion to the next grade level. There are a total of 16 possible credits a student can earn per year, one credit per quarter, per core class. For a student to attain at least 80% of their credits, they would be required to pass at least 13 out of the 16 core classes with a D (60%) or better. Until a student accumulates four F’s in core classes, no credit recovery is required.
Once a student reaches four F’s in core classes in the year, 7th and 8th grade students will be required to attend and complete a summer school credit recovery program. 6th grade students reaching four F’s in core classes in the year may be recommended to attend summer school. Kimberly School District offers this program every June at Kimberly High School. Middle school students are placed into their own class separate from high school students, and work to recover their missed credits.
Regular updates will be sent home throughout the year informing families of failed classes. If a student qualifies for a summer credit recovery program, the school will be in contact during the fourth quarter of the school year with more information.
