Great Oak offers in person Apex credit recovery classes to meet graduation and A-G requirements. This class requires a signed agreement and counselor approval. Students taking APEX coursework are expected to complete a unit of their course each week to make satisfactory progress. If satisfactory progress is not being made, GOHS staff will evaluate the student’s progress on a case-by-case basis to determine if the student should be removed from APEX and placed on the wait-list. Attendance is required. If a student completes the Apex program, he/she will use this period as a study hall to stay on track in all classes.
Other credit recovery options based on counselor approval
At the beginning of Senior year, Seniors should have 190 credits to be on track for graduation. If you have less than 190 credits or more than 4 semester core courses to make up in credit recovery, you will need to attend Rancho Vista High School.
