[Counselors] Concurrent/Dual Credit

Wed Apr 29 16:02:45 CDT 2015

Hennessey HS does not give weighted credit, although we do encourage our eligible students to take college coursework.  The courses have been weighted in the past but we found that the level of difficulty varies greatly from course to course and we have no control of curriculum taught to insure it is worth that weighted designation.

We typically offer 2-3 IETV courses each semester at times that are built in to our schedule (8:00am and/or 11:00am).  On off days, students are expected to use that time to study.  We do not prohibit students from taking online or on campus courses and we will transcript it, but I don't generally recommend it unless they are unusually mature and self-motivated.

Also, we do not offer English Comp 1 or 2 through IETV because it competes with our established AP English Lit coursework.  We usually try to offer general-ed courses that will benefit the majority of students such as US
History, Am Fed Govt., Intro Psych, or College Algebra.

We weight concurrent.  We also, for the past few years, have paid all  fees, so students were not out any out of pocket expenses.  We do not allow our students to take any off campus classes.  Everything is on line for our
students, with the exception of the blended class of College Algebra.  We  tell parents that THEY must transport their child to take tests at the campus, if they want them to enroll in that class.  This is as fair as we  can make it.

We use a 5.0 scale for Honors, AP and Concurrent classes.

Rattan gives weighted credit for concurrent enrollment.

Lawton does not. (My "argument" has been...some students may not be able
participate in concurrent enrollment due to finances or
transportation-giving the "haves" an unfair advantage. We do try to open
honor courses to all students.)

We give the college course 5 points for an A, 4 points for a B, etc. when  calculating Val & Sal.  The grades listed on the transcript are  the grades earn from the college offering the course.
