Honor Roll
Students showing outstanding academic achievement and meeting Honor Roll requirements are recognized with a certificate at the end of each marking period.
To be eligible for the Honor Roll:
- A student must receive five (5) numerical grades in credit bearing courses (excluding Physical Education).
- BOCES courses will count as three (3) of the necessary numerical grades.
- A grade of Incomplete (I) disqualifies a student until the numerical grade is recorded.
- A failure in any subject or a grade of Dropped Failure (DF) makes a student ineligible for the Honor Roll for that marking period.
There are two distinct Honor Roll certificates:
First Honors- Average 90 – 100
Second Honors- Average 85 – 89.9
