We take away one of their electives and make them to 1st semester again on Odysseyware (Online recovery mode) as they are taking 2nd semester.

In algebra I we take those that failed first semester change their schedules and put them into one class that restarts and then they are required to take summer school to complete the semester.
If I can't get them all into one class by themselves I put them in the smallest class and my Algebra I teacher teachers a split class half the class doing first sem and half the class doing sec sem


We put them in our Alt Ed for Credit Recovery at the same time enrolling them in the 2nd semester of that course, so they basically lose an elective and take both semesters of that course at the same time. We have had pretty good luck with it. The only other alternative we give them is to complete the 2nd semester and enroll the following year in the first semester again in that classroom setting, so they get the instruction.

Looking for ideas on what other schools do if a student fails the first semester of Algebra 1 or Geometry...do you push them into the 2nd semester or do you have another option?
