How does a student qualify for the Earth Science Regents course in 8th grade?
There are three components that are considered: First, the 7th grade ELA State test score. Second, the 7th grade MATH State test score. Third, the average of the first three quarters of 7th grade SCIENCE. These scores are used to rank every student in 7th grade science who has at least an 85 science average (after the first three quarters). Class registrations are configured based on the number of students who qualify and numbre of classes offered. If a student has a final Earth Science average of 90 or above AND scores 90 or above on the Regent’s Exam then he/she will qualify for honors science in high school. PLEASE NOTE THAT STUDENTS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED BY SCIENCE TEACHERS. The composite scores are what determines who will qualify for Earth Science Regents. Please remember that this course is a high school course and grades received will be part of a student’s high school transcript (as well as the 8th grade report card). SPECIAL ALERT: The qualifications just described are currentl
