Kinder thru 8th grade students cannot skip a grade level unless student has taken an achievement test the previous year, and results show an above average score of 7, 8, or 9 stanine score in all subjects.

Achievement testing is offered online by multiple institutions. Go to our testing page for more information.

It is not permissible to skip 8th grade and go directly into high school unless test scores are all post high school in every subject.

The Principal will review all test scores to determine if requirements are met for grade advancement.

GRADE LEVEL

» High School students:

If you are transferring from another school, grade placement will be the next consecutive grade from the previous grade completed.

High School grades cannot be skipped at all.

Only students in 11th grade can apply for early graduation. Parents will need to contact the school office and review their student's transcript with our registrar to ensure specific requirements have been met.

ATTENDANCE

» All students:

We highly recommend you enroll on time, usually in August when other schools in your area are returning to school after the summer months.

A student's attendance (school days at Aaron Academy) starts on the enrollment date. We send a friendly reminder to current students who have not re-enrolled in September.

We reserve the right not to accept school days, grades, and/or high school credits earned in the first semester (July to December) from current students who failed to re-enroll with Aaron Academy during this same first semester.
