Jericho: 7th‑grade high‑school classes won’t count as high‑school credits; AIS not provided for accelerated classes
Summary
Administrators said 7th‑grade high‑school‑level courses are not recorded as high‑school course credit though Regents exam results may appear on the transcript; the district does not provide AIS tutoring specifically for accelerated classes.
Parents asked how 7th‑grade high‑school courses affect transcripts and what extra supports exist for accelerated students. Kriegstein answered that high‑school transcripts begin with Regents‑level classes taken in grade 8; while a Regents exam result from a 7th‑grade class may be used as a Regents pass toward graduation, the district does not record the 7th‑grade course as high‑school credit.
Kriegstein also said the district provides regular extra help available in classes but does not offer Academic Intervention Services (AIS) specifically for accelerated classes. She suggested families and students consult teachers for appropriate supports and cautioned that acceleration should be considered in light of academic readiness, not solely to accumulate AP classes.
