Please note:
Transfer Credit
Students transferring into The Franklin School of Innovation from another school, private or public, a home school, or an alternative school may receive credit toward graduation for courses successfully completed in the sending school.
Students transferring from a public school or an accredited private school into Franklin will receive:
- Credit for all courses approved by the sending school
- Weighted credit for all courses designated by the sending school system as Honors or AP
Students transferring from a home school or a non-accredited private school may receive credit toward graduation for courses, based on the following guidelines:
- Nationally standardized test results: If a homeschool student scored at or above the national norms on the language arts, math, science, and social studies sections of a properly administered standardized test, one unit of credit will be assigned for each of the four subject areas. Note that the standardized test cannot be administered or scored by a parent, guardian, or relative of the student.
-
If standardized test scores are not available, the Executive Director or designee will review documentation to determine acceptance of credit. Documentation may include transcript/report card from an online course, detailed lesson plans, originals of student work, tests/quizzes administered, and evidence of attendance. A placement test administered by The Franklin School of Innovation may also be required for credit acceptance.
-
Grades will be recorded as “Pass” (P) or “Fail” (F).
-
Grades and credits will not be included in the calculation of GPA or class rank.
