Can rising 9th graders (former 8th grade students) take high school courses during the summer through TxVSN?
Yes. Students beginning their 9th grade year in the fall may advance by taking high school courses in the summer through TxVSN provided there is documented mastery of the middle school essential knowledge and skills prerequisite to the high school course. Additionally, there must be coordination between the middle school and the high school guidance and counseling staff to verify the need to advance in order to meet the requirements of either the Recommended or Distinguished Achievement graduation plans.
