SOJO Promotion Criteria:
For promotion to 10th grade the student must have a minimum of 6 credits
For promotion to 11th grade the student must have a minimum of 12 credits
For promotion to 12th grade the student must have a minimum of 18 credits
To successfully graduate each student must have:

- Passed a driver’s education course
- Passed the Constitution examination
- Passed the consumer education examination
- Apply to a minimum of 5 colleges or universities

The Social Justice High School staff and community strongly believes in working to ensure every student passes every class. However, if a student has not passed the minimum credit requirement for promotion, that student will not receive a new I.D., class standing, or privileges associated with the next grade. The school will place that student on academic probation which prohibits them from participating in sport activities. Students on academic probation will go through an intensive mediation process involving staff, the student, the student’s families, and social services. Each student on academic probation will create a plan with their academic advisor and family to receive promotion to the next grade. Plans will include deciding if a student needs to repeat a grade, class, attend summer school or evening school.
CPS Grading Procedure
Each student will receive a final grade for each semester. Students can receive an A, B, C, D or F (no credit). Students will receive formal reports eight times a year. Formal reports will always be mailed to the student’s address. However, students and parents should expect to receive informal reports biweekly from teachers, as well as having access to our internet site with live grades.
