If a students fails to pass a portion of their course, Navarro is happy to offer the following as credit recovery options.
To find out more about recovering lost credits, please speak with your cohort counselor to discuss options.
DELTA
The DELTA Program is an academic option for students currently enrolled at Navarro, offering individualized, self-paced instruction to help students earn credits and graduate on time. Courses are completed during a scheduled class period, allowing students to work at their own pace while meeting the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) requirements for courses they have previously failed or need to take.
Students typically access course materials through an online platform, though DELTA teachers may also provide offline instruction using AISD curriculum when needed. Enrollment continues throughout the school year until all assigned courses are successfully completed.
Twilight Evening School
Twilight Evening School gives high school students the opportunity to regain lost credits during extended hours, Monday through Thursday, 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM. Students can complete courses through online or teacher-led instruction.
The program supports students in staying on track to graduate by helping them:
-
Recover and re-enroll students who have dropped out, using extended hours as an incentive.
-
Regain high school course credits.
-
Prepare for standardized tests, including EOC preparation classes.
Yearlong Averaging
Yearlong averaging occurs when both semester averages are added together and divided be two to award the student with a full credit. For example, if student A failed semester 1 with a 64 and passed semester 2 with a 76, the student would receive full credit for the class with a yearlong average of 70.
Credit by Examination
A student in grades 9-12 may be awarded credit based on performance on a CBE taken with no prior instruction. Students who have had no prior instruction must be awarded credit for the applicable course if the student receives:
- a score of 80% or higher on the CBE assessment,
- a three or higher on an AP exam,
- a scaled score of 50 or higher on a CLEP exam.
If a student is awarded credit, the registrar will enter the examination score on the student's transcript, and the student is not required to take an applicable end-of-course assessment for the course.
If a student fails to earn credit by exam for a high school course before the beginning of the school year when the student would normally be expected to enroll in that course according to the district’s course sequence, the student must satisfactorily complete the course to earn credit.
A student may not attempt to earn credit by exam for the same high school subject more than two times.
