Class Schedule: Marquette students attend courses on a hybrid block schedule. This unique schedule is a combination of standard (49 minute) periods and block (98 minute) periods. A half credit is earned per semester for each class period. Students are enrolled in seven class periods.

Advanced Placement: Marquette offers 27 courses through the College Board

Advanced Placement program. Students may begin taking AP courses in their

sophomore year. There is no restriction as to the number of AP courses students are

allowed to take; however, there are prerequisites for many that must be met before

enrolling in the course. AP courses and exams offered at Marquette are listed

below:

Advanced Credit: Certain courses offered may be taken for college credit. College credit is awarded through the University of Missouri - St. Louis.

Dual Enrollment: Approved students may take courses not available at Marquette at local colleges and universities during the regular school day. These courses will not typically appear on the high school transcript since they will not usually apply toward the students’ graduation requirements.

Honors and Accelerated Classes: Certain courses are offered with honors or acceleration.

Grade Point Calculation: GPA is based on grades earned in years 9-12.We do not report class ranking. All courses for which the student receives a grade are included in the GPA. GPA is based on a 4.0 scale with an “A” worth 4 points. For weighted grade courses, an “A” is worth 5 points. We have weighted grades in specified Honors classes, engineering classes, and in all AP classes.

Transcripts of students who have transferred into Marquette indicate the names of previous schools attended and the course names used at these schools. Official transcripts of transfer students may also be requested from the previous high school.

***COVID-19 UPDATE***2019-2020 School Year

On March 23rd, 2020, the Rockwood School District began the Alternative Learning Plan (virtual instruction), which ran until the end of the school year. The District adopted a Hold Harmless approach – grades were not lowered from where they were as of March 12, 2020, the last day before Spring Break. Students’ grades could be improved, however, through ALP assignments. In addition, final exams were not given for the spring semester.

2020-2021 School Year

The Rockwood School District began the 2020-2021 school year on August 24th in a virtual setting. For the first semester, classes are split into quarters, with 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th hour classes occurring during 1st Quarter (Aug. 24 – Oct. 23) and 2nd, 4th, and 6th hour classes occurring during 2nd Quarter (Oct. 27 - Jan 14th). Grades from the first quarter will not be posted on the transcript until the completion of second quarter classes. The District has not determined at this time if we will be virtual or in-person for the second semester.
