District reports credit‑recovery gains in summer school; 102 credits earned

The Port Angeles School Board on Sept. 25 heard a report from Desiree Greenstreet on the 2025 summer school credit‑recovery program, which the presentation said recovered 215 class completions and yielded 102 credits earned across district sites. Greenstreet, who served as the administrator for the program while completing principal certification, said the district used two main pathways for credit recovery this summer: teacher‑issued contract work for students near course completion and online courses for students who were further behind. Seaview (alternative program) accounted for the largest number of recoveries, the presentation said. According to the district presentation, 152 classes were recovered at Seaview, producing 72 students earning credit; Port Angeles High School saw 44 classes recovered (20 students) and Lincoln High School reported 19 classes recovered (10 students). Presenters said two Lincoln High students completed graduation requirements during summer school. Greenstreet displayed comparative data showing registrations and participation increasing over the past three years and said 103 students participated in the program this year, with 102 earning credit. The district indicated the program aimed to recover 0.5‑credit and 0.25‑credit course units depending on the course and pathway. Board members praised the program and highlighted its role in keeping students on the path to graduation. The board did not take action on the report; the presentation was informational and included photos and comparisons to prior years.
