Recommendation Process
●
●
●
●
Using Data: Test scores will determine a portion of our Honors and AP population
Using Teachers’ Knowledge of Students: Teacher recommendations will determine
placement for the vast majority of students in all Core Departments. Based on
criteria determined internally within the Department, teachers will recommend
students to Prep, Honors, or AP classes
Varying Needs: Recommendations in Focus Departments (Art, Computer Science,
Music, World Language) will rely on diagnostic testing, teacher recommendation,
and student choice, depending on the department’s structure.
Student View: During course registration, students will only have access to classes
that have been recommended to them.
