GENERAL INFORMATION FOR ALL STUDENTS

ACCREDITATION LBJ High School is accredited by the Texas Education Agency.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) PROGRAM

The Advanced Placement Program, sponsored by the College Board, offers students an opportunity to take college- level courses in high school. If students take AP exams and score in an acceptable range, advanced placement credit may be awarded upon college entrance. Students should contact directors of admissions at colleges of their choice to ask about specific advanced placement and credit policies. Part or all of the costs of the exams must be paid for by the student. For further information on how much credit is offered at various schools, visit: http://www.collegeboard.com/ap/creditpolicy. AP courses get weighted as an advanced course for GPA calculation.

ADVANCED CLASSES

Students will receive high quality, rigorous instruction in all courses at LBJHS. Students may choose to take advanced classes appropriate to their interests and academic strengths. Advanced courses are prerequisites and designed to prepare students to be successful in AP classes. The number of Advanced courses varies with the students’ motivation, self- discipline, and available time outside of class. Students are not expected to enroll in Advanced courses in all core subject areas. Advanced courses get weighted as an advanced course for GPA calculation.

Recommended Prerequisites include:

● A grade of 90 or higher in a related academic content area course

● Scores at the Advanced level on the most recent corresponding STAAR EOC test

Characteristics of a Successful Honors Student: ● Excellent study and organization skills

● Strong interpersonal skills

● Persistence in pursuing goals

● A strong sense of responsibility

● The ability to become an independent learner

● A desire to be academically successful

● Proficient oral and written communication skills

ATTENDANCE

It is important to note that poor attendance adversely affects grades. By failing to meet state minimum standards for days in class, students lose credit for the class even if a passing grade is earned. Please refer to the student handbook for additional information.

AUTOMATIC COLLEGE ADMISSION POLICY revised for 2020-2021 In accordance with Texas Education Code (TEC), §51.803, a student is eligible for automatic admission to a college or university as an undergraduate student if the applicant

In accordance with Title 19 Texas Administrative Code (TAC), §5.5(e), high school rank for students seeking automatic admission to a general academic teaching institution on the basis of class rank is determined and reported as follows.

(1) Class rank shall be based on the end of the 11th grade, middle of the 12th grade, or at high school graduation, whichever is most recent at the application deadline. (2) The top 10 percent of a high school class shall not contain more than 10 percent of the total class size. (3) The student's rank shall be reported by the applicant's high school or school district as a specific number out of a specific number total class size. (4) Class rank shall be determined by the school or school district from which the student graduated or is expected to graduate.

An applicant who does not satisfy the course requirements is considered to have satisfied those requirements if the student completed the portion of the RHSP, DAP, or the distinguished level of achievement under the Foundation High School Program that was available to the student but was unable to complete the remainder of the coursework solely because courses were unavailable to the student at the appropriate times in the student's high school career as a result of circumstances not within the student's control. To qualify for automatic admission an applicant must:

(1) submit an application before the deadline established by the college or university to which the student seeks admission; (2) meet all curriculum requirements for admission established by the college or university to which the student seeks admission; and (3) provide a high school transcript or diploma that indicates whether the student has satisfied or is on schedule to satisfy the requirements of the RHSP, DAP, or the distinguished level of achievement under the Foundation High School Program or the portion of the RHSP, DAP, or the distinguished level of achievement under the Foundation High School Program that was available to the student.

Colleges and universities are required to admit an applicant for admission as an undergraduate student if the applicant is the child of a public servant who was killed or sustained a fatal injury in the line of duty and meets the minimum requirements, if any, established by the governing board of the college or university for high school or prior college-level grade point average and performance on standardized tests.

CLASS RANK AND GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA) CALCULATION

CLASS OF 2021

For students in the graduating class of 2021, the District shall include in the calculation of GPA and class rank semester grades earned in high school credit courses taken in grades 9–12 only, unless excluded below. The calculation shall include failing grades.

The calculation of GPA and class rank shall exclude grades earned in physical education; any course substituted for physical education; any distance learning course; any local credit course; any dual credit course; any course for which the District awarded credit after the student took the course at a nonaccredited school, and grades earned through summer school or credit by examination, with or without prior instruction.

Due Covid-19 Home Learning, overall GPA calculations and class rank for all students will not include the 2020 spring semester and will be calculated based on seven semesters, not eight.

CLASSES OF 2022, 2023 and 2024

Beginning with students in the graduating class of 2022, the District shall include in the calculation of GPA and class rank semester grades earned in high school credit courses taken in grades 9–12 only, unless excluded below, but only in the following subject areas: English, mathematics, science, social studies, and languages other than English. The calculation shall include failing grades.

The calculation of GPA and class rank shall exclude grades earned in any course not in the following subject areas: English, mathematics, science, social studies, and languages other than English; courses substituted for physical education; any distance learning course; any dual credit course; any course for which the District awarded credit after the student took the course at a nonaccredited school; and grades earned through summer school or credit by examination, with or without prior instruction.

Due Covid-19 Home Learning, GPA calculations and class rank for will not include the 2020 spring semester.

WEIGHTED COURSES FOR ALL CLASSES (2021-2024)

The District shall categorize and weight courses as Advanced and Regular.

Advanced Courses

Eligible Advanced Placement (AP) courses, On-Ramps dual enrollment courses, Advanced (formerly Pre-AP) courses, and other courses locally designated as advanced shall be categorized and weighted as Advanced courses.

Regular Courses

All eligible courses that are not categorized as Advanced or Modified Content shall be categorized and weighted as Regular courses.

7


TRANSFERRED GRADES

When a student transfers grades for properly documented AP or Honors courses, the District shall assign weight to those grades based on the categories and grade weight system used by the District, if the same AP or Honors courses are offered to the same class of students in the District. Due Covid-19 Home Learning, GPA calculations and class rank will not include the 2020 spring semester.

CORRESPONDENCE COURSES LBJHS students may request to complete distance learning courses, including correspondence courses, as a means of earning credit in a subject or course. In order to receive credit, a student shall obtain approval from the Principal prior to enrollment in the course. Grades earned in correspondence courses are not used to compute class rankings or GPA. Seniors must complete correspondence courses and submit grades by the end of the fall semester to be eligible for credit toward graduation. Any extension must be cleared through the Principal and requires a signed request form from the Counselor.

Senate Bill 1788 passed by the 80th Texas Legislature in 2007 established a state virtual network, TxVSN, to provide supplemental, online courses for Texas students. Courses are provided by Texas school districts, open enrollment charter schools, Education Service Centers, and institutions of higher education. All high school courses offered through the TxVSN are aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) as well as the iNACOL National Standards of Quality for Online Courses. All high school courses are led by a Texas certified teacher for that course subject area and grade level who have completed professional development on effective online instruction.Courses taken through TxVSN will be recorded as pass/fail and not counted in the student’s GPA. The intent of HB 3646 is to expand a variety of course offerings and provide students with

online learning opportunities that would not otherwise be provided at their local district.

While LBJHS encourages all who wish to apply to do so, we also advise that electronic

courses are quite different from the normal classroom experience of face-to-face

interaction with students and teachers, so diligence is required on the part of the student.

Surveys and assessments are required of the student who wished to become a part of the

electronic courses. Students interested in learning more about the electronic/online

courses should visit the Counselor and TxVSN Site Director. To view the available TxVSN

electronic courses, visit the TxVSN website at http://txvsn.org/ and click the TxVSN

Catalog.

CREDIT BY EXAM FOR ACCELERATION (CBE-A) Exam for acceleration allows students who have not had formal instruction but have already mastered content and skills in a particular course to advance by scoring 80% or higher for credit. These tests are developed by the University of Texas – K-16 Education Center. LBJHS administers the exams twice yearly. To be eligible, performance and test records must indicate a high probability for success. Students will have one opportunity to test when exams are administered and not be able to retest to improve their score. Students should contact the Counselor for additional information including test dates and registration. If students choose not to wait until the next district testing date, they may, after obtaining Counselor approval, contact the University of Texas- K-16 Center and pay the fees to have the test administered at their convenience directly through their Testing Center. Requires signed request form from the student’s high school Counselor.

CREDIT BY EXAM FOR CREDIT RECOVERY (CBE-CR) Credit by Exam allows students who have had formal instruction and have failed a course to gain credit by passing a proficiency examination on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills of the course. A student may not use this exam to regain eligibility for participation in extracurricular activities. Students assume the cost for these examinations. Students need to score a 70% or higher in order to recover credit. Requires signed request form from Counselor.

DUAL CREDIT AND CO-ENROLLMENT COURSES

LBJHS Juniors and Seniors may enroll in college courses to accumulate college hours and/or satisfy high school graduation requirements. If the college course does not satisfy high school graduation requirements, it is referred to as co-enrollment. If the course does satisfy high school graduation requirements, it is dual credit. Students must obtain Counselor, Principal and parent approval before enrolling in a college course. Students must be accepted for admission by Austin Community College and obtain a Dual Credit form from the Counselor for each semester they wish to enroll. JCISD currently pays tuition for students who successfully complete dual credit courses through ACC. Students must pay for books, fees and other related costs, as well as reimburse JCISD if no credit is received in any course. A passing grade in the college course is required to receive high school credit in a dual credit course; a grade of B or higher is required to earn an Advanced Measure on the Distinguished Achievement Program (DAP) or a Performance Acknowledgement in any academic college course, dual credit or co-enrollment course.

Enrolling in an Austin Community College (ACC) Course LBJHS students may enroll for two courses per semester, up to six total hours. To enroll in a course, students must have met the academic and assessment requirements required by ACC. Potential students must also satisfy college course skills prerequisites.

Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Testing Requirements for Dual Credit/Co-enrollment

College readiness and eligibility are determined through the TSI Assessment. It is 100% web based and delivered through the ACCUPLACER platform (College Board). The ACC dual credit department will no longer have a ‘paper’ assessment. The TSI is offered at ACC and on the LBJHS campus on designated dates. Information regarding TSI testing dates is available from the LBJHS Counselor. Students can be exempt from the TSI if they meet the following standards.

SAT Minimum 480 Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) ; minimum 530 Math – no combined scores ACT 23 composite, with 19 or higher Math and English STAAR English 3 – Level 2 Algebra 2 – Level 2

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR EXTRA-CURRICULAR PROGRAMS LBJHS competes in a number of academic and athletic extra-curricular activities to provide enrichment opportunities for students. To participate, students must maintain academic eligibility. To do so, students must maintain a grade of 70% or higher in all academic subjects other than advanced courses. The advanced courses recognized by LBJHS include all Honors, AP, and Advanced courses. A student in any Honors, AP and/or Advanced course who fails to meet the 70% minimum grade requirement may submit an appeal in writing to the Principal to have eligibility reinstated; Principal approval is required for the reinstatement.

GIFTED AND TALENTED (GT) PROGRAM Identified GT students are served through group and individualized instruction in the classroom as well as through special programs. These special programs include extension of the regular classroom program, accelerated pacing, enrichment activities, Honors and AP classes, dual credit coursework, and exams for acceleration.

All students who have previously been identified as gifted in another district may request a review of admission standards in order to be considered for acceptance into the JCISD GT program. Teachers, parents, or students may nominate students for the program. Nominated students will have the option to participate in assessment to determine eligibility for the program according to district guidelines.

GRADE LEVEL CLASSIFICATION Freshman: Must have been promoted from the 8th grade. Sophomore: Must have earned 5 credits and completed one year of high school. Junior: Must have earned 10 credits and completed two years of high school. Senior: Must have earned 15 credits and completed three years of high school.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION INFORMATION (SUBSTITUTIONS, EQUIVALENCIES)

Students may substitute certain physical activities for PE credit in any graduation plan: Cheerleading, Marching Band, or Athletics.

SCHEDULE CHANGE POLICY Each year, students are registered online and given ample opportunities to make scheduling choices and changes. In our efforts to ensure that school starts smoothly and progresses with minimal classroom disruption we will follow the schedule change policy outlined below:

● The campus Principal may approve changes in class placement during the first ten days of the first semester and first five days of the second semester.

● Any class change request requested after the stated period must be submitted as a written appeal and will be considered by a Class Placement Committee consisting of two teachers, Counselor, librarian, and campus Principal. The Counselor will chair the committee. The teachers will be selected by lottery on each class change request. Teachers affected by the change will be requested to provide information regarding the impact of the change but will not participate in the final ruling. A ruling by the committee will be made within three school days after the change is

received.

SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES

The Johnson City Independent School District provides a continuum of specially designed instructional supports and services for students with disabilities eligible for Special Education services. A full range of academic supports for grades 9-12 are available at LBJHS and can be accessed through either the general program of instruction or through special education instruction and related services, as determined by the admission, review, and dismissal (ARD) committee. The school district curriculum enables each student with disabilities to acquire knowledge and skills commensurate to the student’s needs and abilities.

STATE ASSESSMENTS Beginning in the spring of 2013, all Freshmen who entered high school for the first time in 2012-2013 or thereafter will be assessed through the STAAR test (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness). STAAR will assess the following subject areas: English I, English II, Algebra I, Biology and U.S. History. Students taking the End-of-Course (EOC) Assessments must achieve a score in each subject area that meets the standard set by TEA. Students must take the EOC for the courses in which they enroll and earn credit, including correspondence, dual credit, credit by exam, etc. The required performance on academic assessments under TEC, §28.025(c) and §39.025(a) is being waived for spring 2020 only. This means:

• If a student was enrolled in an EOC course during the spring 2020, the EOC passing requirement will be waived if the student received credit for that course. • If the student has an outstanding EOC assessment that they did not pass from a year prior to spring 2020, the student will still need to retake and pass that EOC assessment prior to graduation.
