STATE OF OHIO GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

The requirements for graduation from high school are as follows.

Six subjects must be scheduled each semester.

The highest level of classes available is the Advanced Placement (AP) courses. Advanced Placement courses are college level courses taught at the high school level. Advanced Placement courses have weighted grades. To receive the weighted grade the student must take the AP examination. Students can earn college credit if certain AP test scores are achieved.

ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY Athletic eligibility is determined each grading period for all student athletes in grades 9-12. In order to participate in any interscholastic event, students must meet the eligibility requirements formulated by the OHSAA. At present, these are (1) passing subjects in the preceding grading period which earn a minimum of two and one-half credits per semester, (2) maintain Board of Education approved minimum GPA, (3) be under 19 years of age as of August 1

CREDIT FLEXIBILITY OPTIONS

Copley High School has a strong tradition of academic excellence and students will continue to have the ability to enroll

in a Copley High School class and complete coursework via the traditional methods. Students have the opportunity to

utilize alternative methods to earn academic credits for graduation. Students interested in pursuing a credit flex option

need to see their counselor for additional details and required applications. All proposals must be approved prior to

implementing a credit flex program. There will be no retroactive awarding of credit.

New optional methods to earn credit include:

1. Flexing Out. Flexing out of a Copley High School class by demonstrating mastery of the course content will

allow the student to learn the course objectives at his/her own pace outside of enrolling in the classroom. The

student must complete a Proposal for Credit Flexibility Application to participate in this option.

2. Flex Plan for a New Course. By completing thirty (30) hours of coursework to earn one-quarter (¼) credit, sixty

(60) hours of coursework to earn one-half (½) credit or one hundred twenty (120) hours of coursework to earn one

(1) credit, a student could pursue an elective area of interest that is not currently served in the Copley High School

curriculum. The student must complete a Proposal for Credit Flexibility Application and Plan for Assessment to

Receive Credit and Grades to participate in this option.

EARLY RELEASE Only students in co-operative career programs (Business Management and Marketing Education) and those students involved with the Post Secondary Education Option Program have the opportunity for early release. All other students must be enrolled for the full day.

EARNING CREDIT THROUGH SUMMER, NIGHT, DISTANCE LEARNING, AND CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL

All summer, night, distance learning, and correspondence work must have prior approval of a counselor (and/or principal), if credit is to be granted. The following regulations are in effect.

Those institutions offering summer, night, distance learning, and correspondence programs must be properly accredited.

A maximum of three (3) units of credit for summer school work can be counted as part of the student's graduation requirements. Additional credit(s) must be pre-approved by the high school principal.

GRADE PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

HONORS DIPLOMA CRITERIA The State of Ohio Department of Education offers an Honors Diploma. This criterion is available in the guidance office.

MASTER SCHEDULING DISCLAIMER Every effort will be made to develop a master schedule that allows all students to take their requested courses. However, due to the complexity of the master scheduling process and the number of courses offered at Copley High School, this is not always a possibility. Courses with a limited number of sections may pose a scheduling conflict. Therefore, some students may need to choose the most preferred class when draft schedules are given to students in May.

SENIOR OPTION PRIVILEGE Students enrolled in a study hall during the first or last period of the day may be eligible for a late entry or early release. Students are able to request Senior Option Privilege on their course selection sheet. Students must maintain a C average in all classes and have a clean attendance record to be eligible. These records will be checked on a regular basis. Senior Option may be revoked at any time. A permission slip must be completed by the student’s parent and/or guardian prior to beginning Senior Option.

Guidance for selecting the “Level” that best meets your needs.

The “Basic” and “Core” Level tracts for math courses are designed for students to meet the Ohio Core standards

for mathematics. The Ohio Core standards state that students must earn four credits of math, one of which is

Algebra 2 level.

The “Regular” and “Accelerated” Level tracts for math courses are designed for students to meet and exceed the

Ohio Core standards. These levels are designed for the student who may hope to study business, science, or

mathematics at the collegiate level.

The “Honors” Level tract for math courses is designed for students to meet and exceed the Ohio Core standards.

Furthermore, it is designed to prepare students for taking Advanced Placement Calculus, as well as Advanced

Placement Chemistry and Advanced Placement Physics.

Notes.

Any student taking math at Copley High School is required to have a Texas Instruments scientific calculator,

model TI-30XII S or higher (see individual class requirements).

A student may repeat a course that has been taken for an improved grade but NOT for additional credit. If a

student fails a course, it is recommended that he or she repeat the course or drop to a lower level course.

College Math is strictly a senior course.

Probability & Statistics is strongly encouraged for students planning on going to college.

Students cannot take any combination of courses with the same title, such as “Algebra I” and “Algebra I

Advanced” for additional credit.

Any Algebra I student that cannot earn a “B” or better should not take Algebra II or College Math, directly. They

should schedule Intermediate Algebra first.

AP WORLD HISTORY 1 Year/2 Mods 1 credit


*AVAILABLE BEGINNING IN THE 2014-2015 SCHOOL YEAR

Prerequisites: Junior or Senior standing; Recommendation of Teacher; B or better average in history classes; Completion

of both semesters of World History; Required summer assignments

Advanced Placement World History is intended for qualified students who wish to complete studies in secondary school

equivalent to college introductory courses in World History. The primary intent of the AP World History course is to teach

the history of the world from a truly global stance rather than from the dominant perspective of Western civilization. This

approach therefore places emphasis on worldwide historical processes and connections among the whole gamut of human

societies. In order to achieve a comprehensive understanding of these events, students need both factual knowledge and

the ability to critically assess such information. This course helps them on both fronts, teaching the historical facts in the

context of how progressive changes—environmental, social, scientific, and political—influenced the various societies

they touched, as well as how these groups interacted with each other. Students are exposed to many primary sources in an

effort to show them how historical analysis works and how they can proceed to make their own informed interpretations

of world events, both past and present. Significantly, the course is organized by five defining time periods, not by

geographical areas. This concept of “periodization” is a vehicle that facilitates seeing both the continuities and changes

over time that form the framework for understanding world history.
