Credit Recovery and Test Out
Test Out:
Students have the opportunity to earn credit by 'testing out' of a class offered at CHS. The student must score a 78% or higher on the test to earn credit. Students who successfully test out of a class will be awarded credit, but no letter grade will be given, The grade will be recorded as an "S" (Satisfactory), therefore the students GPA will not be impacted. Test outs are given twice per year, in August and December. We do not perform test-out on demand.

Test Out Study Materials
Summer School
Courses are offered through Clarkston Community Education for both credit recovery and advancement purposes. Summer School is for students who would like to advance, or those who need to recover credit(s) or wish to achieve a higher grade (please note- original grade is NOT removed from the transcript, but rather will replace configuration in GPA upon request). Students must check with their counselor before registering to ensure that they sign up for the correct class.
