High School Science Requirements

​Grade 9
Eighth grade students interested in taking Honors Biology must take a placement exam to demonstrate a readiness to take on the rigors of honors material and expectations.
 
Grades 10-12
Students entering these grades have two opportunities for placement in honors courses:

1. If a student is currently in an honors class and earns an A in each semester, he or she is automatically eligible to enroll in the next year's honors course.
2. Any student can take the honors placement exam for the next year's honors course.

 
A-G Subject Requirements for Laboratory Science
Two units (equivalent to two years or four semesters) of laboratory science are required (three units are strongly recommended), providing fundamental knowledge in two of the following disciplines:

• Biology
• Chemistry
• Physics
