Pre Requisites
The prerequisites for this course are Algebra 1 or its equivalent and a previously earned D or F in regular or honors Geometry. This ensures that students have a basic understanding of algebraic concepts and need credit recovery in Geometry.
Description
This course offers high school students a unique opportunity to improve their academic standing by forgiving a prior D or F grade earned in regular credit Geometry. To be eligible for this course, students must have previously taken both segments of the Geometry course. No honors credit is available with this course option, but it provides a comprehensive learning experience. Students will engage in on-camera (Zoom) Discussion-Based Assessments once per module throughout the course, fostering interactive learning. The course is structured over six weeks per segment, ensuring a manageable workload. We encourage parents and students to discuss this course option with their school counselor to ensure it meets their graduation/transcript needs. Please note that this course is not NCAA-approved for students pursuing collegiate athletics. This course provides elective credit and is not accepted by Bright Futures or SUS as a core course credit. Follow the link below for the Department of Education description of this course:

This course guides students to reflect on their learning and evaluate their progress through a variety of assessments. Assessments will be in the form of note-taking guides, activities, multiple-choice exams, and on-camera (Zoom) Discussion-Based Assessments. This course uses the state-approved grading scale. The course contains a mandatory final exam that is weighted at 20% of the student’s overall grade. Proctored exams can be requested by FLVS at any time and for any reason in an effort to ensure academic integrity. When a proctored exam is administered to assess a student’s integrity, the exam must be passed with at least a 59.5% to earn credit for the course.
