Credit Deficiency
Students who fall behind in credits may make up credits by obtaining counselor approval for the following:
Summer School
Extended Day
Adult School Learning Lab
Regional Occupational Programs (ROP) - Students must be over 16 years of age to take classes.
Directed Studies * with Counselor/Administrative approval
Exceptions to these regulations may be granted upon written recommendation of the Counselor and with the approval of the Principal.
If students are extremely credit deficient, Parents and Students are encouraged to meet with their counselor to discuss alternative placement options.
For a referral to Buena Vista High School, make an appointment to see your counselor.
California High School Proficiency Exam
Legislation now provides that those persons 16 years old and over may be exempted from compulsory school attendance if they have demonstrated satisfactory proficiency in an examination prescribed by the State Department of Education. A student who passes the examination will receive a “Certificate of Proficiency” and be allowed to terminate secondary schooling with parental consent.
These students will not be permitted to go through the Commencement Ceremony at Paramount High School.
