In order to ensure student success in high school, all 8th grade students will be considered for promotion to the 9th grade based on the following criteria:

• Meet or Exceed Standards on the SBAC in Language Arts and Math

• Passing UPA core classes with a grade of C- or higher

• Growth on NWEA or equivalent test

Promotion Guidelines 24-25

As per UPA Board Policy, a committee of teachers and administration will assess any student not meeting these requirements for promotion to the ninth grade on an individual basis.
