The Central High School Credit Recovery Program is designed to help students who have failed or not received credit for a class that is needed for graduation due to violation of the attendance policy. The purpose of the Credit Recovery Program is to allow students to earn a credit for that class by making up the deficiency in the credit recovery class. This program will be offered as an option for students who do not wish to repeat the semester class in the conventional classroom setting. There are three phases of this program.
Phase I
Eligibility: Title I students who have failed a core class required for graduation. Priority will be given to Seniors.
Course Meets: The course will meet Monday through Thursday from 2:45 until 3:30 PM. Exceptions on course times may be allowed in Phase I to allow students to complete course requirements in the Title I classroom during the school day.
Grading: Credit will be granted when students complete 100% of assignments with a score of 80% or higher.
Phase II
Eligibility: Students who were absent 20 or fewer days in a core course required for graduation but did not receive credit due to the attendance problems. Preference will be given to Seniors.
Course Meets: The course will meet on Monday through Thursday from 2:45 to 3:30 PM.
Grading: Credit will be granted when students complete 100% of assignments with a score of 80% or better.
Phase III
Eligibility: Any student who has failed any course.
Course Meets: Credit recovery will be completed during Summer School, using the same credit criteria as defined above.

The goals for this program are to reduce the drop-out rate, improve attendance and allow more students to graduate on time and with their class peers.
