+Indications from the Data Advanced English Courses - 30% to 40% of our students take

AP or honors courses as replacements for the regular courses

AP Social Studies – 30% to 40% of students take AP courses as replacements for the regular courses

Electives – Music and Technology courses are taken by 200+ students (some of these would be the same student taking multiple courses)

Foreign Language elective enrollments have declined slightly

Art elective enrollments have increased

Family and Consumer Science HS electives are low in enrollment (FACS HS courses were eliminated due to budget cuts in 2014-15)

+Thoughts for the Future

If more students in 8th grade were to be accelerated (particularly in science) and/or could take credit bearing HS courses (e.g., Art and Music), more students could take advanced coursework and more elective courses in High School

What additional elective and advanced courses might we offer to allow students to pursue their interests and to take more advanced offerings?

What electives might be considered for elimination due to low student interest?

Are there High School scheduling changes that might make it easier for students to take challenging elective courses?
