Summer School

As of 10:00 this morning, summer school registration is now open. I know that a lot of students have indicated that they intend to take a class in summer school and so I wanted to make sure you know that you can now sign up. There is limited space available so it is important to make sure you sign up for soon if you are planning on taking summer school classes. Please be aware that not every class is offered in summer school and seats are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you failed a class during the 1st semester, you need to discuss signing up for summer school with your parents. The success rates for students who take summer school is very strong because you are only asked to focus on one subject at a time and it is a more relaxed environment.

This year summer school will be held at Worthington Kilbourne High School and most courses classes taken to try to get ahead will cost around $200. (Students on the free and reduced lunch program have a discounted rate.)  And those who are taking credit recovery classes will be able to attend for free!

The first term of summer school will run from June 8th until June 25th.  The second term of summer school runs from July 6th to July 23rd.  Please note that for all of the classes taught by a teacher (not the online credit recovery courses) the terms of summer school represents the semester of the class.  So, for example, if you failed 1st semester, you would need to attend the 1st session to make up the credit.

The summer school information and registration is completely online.  You can also access the information on the district website under district info and then summer school.  Here is a link.

Some students and parents have had questions related to taking classes through a different school district or through Online schools.  The basic answer is yes, you are allowed to take classes through any accredited school.  Please be sure that they are accredited before you sign up for their classes.  After you have completed your course, they will give you a transcript and you will need to provide that to us at WKHS so that we can transfer your credit.  As these courses are not coordinated or run by Worthington, I don't have a lot of details about options, but a Google search has been successful for students in the past.  My top tip is to make sure you are signing up for their summer school classes because I do know that in the past students found there was a significant difference in the cost if they were taking a class online during summer school vs. taking a class online during the school year.
