Evening Credit Recovery Program

The credit recovery program is one of the areas that results in a large number of questions and a great deal of confusion among students and parents. Basically, this program is designed to allow students that have previously failed a required course to repeat the class and earn credit needed for graduation. Not every required class is offered through credit recovery, but it does include a wide range of courses.

This program is not designed for students who failed just a quarter or didn't do well, but still passed the class for the semester - it is only for semester failures. Many people are often confused thinking that this is a tutoring program and it is not. Credit recovery is an online, self-paced, mastery opportunity for students to move through their required coursework to make up the credit they had previously failed. Students log on, read the required material and take quizzes and tests over the information. Many courses also include writing papers and/ or reading books. Students are given a maximum of 7 weeks to complete a semester's worth of work through credit recovery and you can work at your own pace through the material. After successfully completing the course, the new grade is added to your transcript.

The evening credit recovery program, new this semester at WKHS, is unique because it features teachers available to assist students with their work and to help answer questions. Students attend on Monday and Wednesday afternoons from 3:00 to 5:00pm in room 140.

The cost for this program is $125. If you successfully earn the semester of credit, you/ your parents receive a refund of $25. (Discount available if student is eligible for Free or Reduced Lunch program.)
