FOREWORD
Intended for the use of both parents and students, the following pages represent the school
administration's continuing efforts to provide pertinent information about Ingleside High School and,
specifically, a description of the courses offered. The booklet has been assembled by utilizing Texas
Education Agency publications as they apply to the local district and by listing the courses that Ingleside
High School generally makes available to students. It should be noted, however, that not all of the
courses listed are scheduled every year. Since it is not economically feasible to schedule classes in
which only a few students enroll, it may be necessary to schedule such classes on an alternate-year
basis or to eliminate them. Sufficient numbers of student requests for specific courses then become the
determining factor as to whether or not a course is scheduled.
Hopefully, this publication will be helpful to students as they enter high school and continue their postsecondary education. Students are urged to study this booklet along with the Student Handbook as they
plan their graduation programs. All information contained in this publication is a district interpretation of
the State Board of Education adopted amendments to the graduation requirements. If the SBOE and the
Texas Education Agency clarify the requirements, parents will be notified on the Ingleside ISD website at
www.inglesideisd.org.

GP A / CLASS RANK / HIGHEST RANKING STUDENT
Class ranks and the identification of the Valedictorian and Salutatorian will be implemented in an equitable and consistent
fashion. Any student designated as Valedictorian or Salutatorian must have completed the last four (4) semesters of
academic work at Ingleside High school. In the event of a tie for Valedictorian, the student having taken the greatest number
of advanced courses will be awarded the position. Should further resolution be necessary, the pupil having the greatest
number of credits will be designated a valedictorian. Students must be on the Recommended or Distinguished Achievement
Plans to qualify. Grade point averaging and ranking will be calculated at the end of the 5 th six weeks for seniors only to
determine Valedictorian and Salutatorian.
Grade Point Average (GPA)
All state approved courses taken in an attempt to earn high school credit will be calculated in the GPA (grade point average)
except local credit courses and credit from non-accredited, non-public schools. Students who transfer high school credits
for a course designated as Advanced Placement, Pre-Advanced Placements (College Preparatory), Dual Credit or Advanced
Credit from accredited institutions shall receive grade weighting based on Ingleside High School’s grade weighting policy.
Grades from non-accredited, non-public schools, including home-schools, shall not be used in determining class rank, grade
point average, or academic average. A student may not receive duplicate credit for the identical course.
Advanced courses will receive grade weighting for establishing class ranks, as listed below. This procedure compensates
students who are taking the more challenging courses. The grade points will be added to the grade earned only when
calculating the grade point average and rank. The actual grade in each course will determine credit earned, and will be
recorded on the official transcript.

Other Academic Information
REQUIRED CREDITS TO ADVANCE TO NEXT GRADE LEVEL
In addition to 26 credits, all IISD students must pass all parts of the STAAR End of
Course requirements in order to graduate.
Grade Classification for students entering the 9th grade in the Fall of 2014 and thereafter:
10th – 6 credits
11th – 11 credits
12th – 18+ credits
RANKING SYSTEM
Grades are reported on the numerical 100 point scale.
A= 90-100
B= 80-89
C= 70-79
F= 0-69
Grade point average (GPA) is determined by averaging all
state credit final averages per semester.
CP courses receive an additional 1.1 points added to the final
average per semester for GPA and rank. Advanced
Placement and dual credit courses receive an additional 1.15
points added to the final average per semester for GPA and
rank. The additional points are NOT added into the grade.
The student’s cumulative GPA will be used to
determine the “Top 10%” for college admissions.
TOP 10% RULE
Students graduating in the top 10% of their graduating
classes will be automatically admitted to Texas public
colleges or universities with all application requirements
having been submitted on time for the institutions with the
exception of the University of Texas at Austin, which will
only automatically accept the top 7% for the 2014-2015
year. Incoming freshmen will also need to complete the
requirements in one endorsement area.
REGISTRATION AND SCHEDULE CHANGES
At Ingleside High School, students and parents are
responsible for selecting a graduation plan and for choosing
appropriate courses to satisfy the requirements of that plan.
Consideration is given to individual students’ future plans
regarding career, college, and personal goals. With this in
mind, students’ course selections should be consistent with
their four- year plans/ Endorsements/ coherent sequence of
courses (Pathways) which will best prepare them for their life’s
goals. Review of course selections and personalized
graduation plans with students and parents are available
through the Guidance Department.
Once students have made their course selections, parents will
have an opportunity to review their child’s course selections via
SKYWARD. A print out of the students ’choices will also be
provided to each student. Parents and students may alter the
selections during a designated time window. Elective choices
may not be adjusted beyond the end of May.
During the summer, course selections will be converted into
the student’s course schedule. The master schedule will
reflect the choices made by students. Once the official
schedules are run, no changes will be made unless the
change is requested in the first five days of school, should
space become available. The requested change should
match the Pathway/ Endorsement of the student. Changes of
schedules require parent permission, teacher
recommendation, counselor review of graduation plan and or
principal/ coach approval. Students are responsible for
completing all work/ assignments missed prior to enrollment
in the new course.
13 | P a g e
Student and parent initiated schedule changes will be
considered only if requested during the first 5 school days
the class meets. Request for schedule changes after the
fifth day due to extenuating circumstances must be
reviewed by the counselor and principal. Students
requesting changes from AP, PAP courses must follow the
guidelines set in the contract filed with each teacher.
Changes in schedules may also be made for classes that
do not have a high enough enrollment to offer the course or
when there are irresolvable conflicts in the schedule.
REPEATING A CLASS
The grade received the first time the class was taken
must remain on the transcript and remain as a part of
the student’s grade point average.
The grade received the second time the class was
taken must also be a part of the transcript and grade
point average.
Permission to retake a previously passed class will
depend upon availability.
NON-TRADITIONAL CREDIT
Ingleside ISD offers a number of state approved options for
earning credit outside the classroom.
Scores earned through these credits will not be calculated
in the GPA. Below is a brief description of each of these
options and the corresponding requirements for
completion. For more details, please contact a counselor in
the guidance office.
- CREDIT BY EXAMINATION (with prior instruction)
Students who have had “prior formal instruction” in a
course and failed the course with a grade of 60 or higher
may gain credit for the course by scoring at least 80% on a
test covering the appropriate essential elements. Credit by
Exam cannot be used to gain eligibility in extracurricular
activities.
The school district chooses the test and establishes test
dates.
- CORRESPONDENCE COURSE CREDIT
A student may earn a maximum of four state-required credits
through correspondence courses and may be enrolled in only
one correspondence course at a time. The University of
Texas and Texas Tech both offer State-approved
correspondence courses. There are tuition fees and textbook
charges for these courses. After the student completes the
correspondence assignments, he/she must score at least

PSAT - PRELIMINARY SCHOLASTIC APTITUDE TEST
The PSAT is a three-hour practice examination for the SAT. It is
offered in each school year on the Ingleside High School campus.
9th-11th grade are eligible to take the test.
The advantages of taking this test are:
It gives the student a “predicted” SAT score.
The PSAT puts students in contention for National
Merit Scholarship Competition.
The students receive a score report that contains their
test results and the answers to the questions that they
answered incorrectly. Students also receive their
original test booklet which allows them to review their
test and get ready to take the SAT.
ACT - AMERICAN C O L L E G E TEST SAT SCHOLASTIC APTITUDE TEST
The ACT is an examination similar to an achievement test in
English, mathematics usage, reading, and natural science
reasoning abilities.
The SAT is a test of verbal and mathematical reasoning
abilities.
Both tests will include a writing component. These tests are
offered on Saturday morning at designated “national test sites”
throughout the fall and spring. Some testing dates will be
available at Ingleside High School. Students should check with
their counselor and/or online at www.collegeboard.org and
www.act.org to obtain specific testing dates and deadlines for
registration.

(Level-One certificates, 42 or fewer semester credit hours
or the equivalent) at a public community college, a public
technical institute, or a public state college.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT TESTS
AP exams are college level tests taken by high school students.
The AP courses offered at Ingleside High School each year
prepare students for the AP exams in May. Colleges and
universities may offer credit to students
who score 3, 4, or 5 on these tests. Because the AP policies of
colleges and universities vary greatly, students should check with the
admissions office of the schools they are
interested in or online at www.collegeboard.org to verify
what scores are necessary to obtain credit. Scores are not usually
made available until July of the testing year. There is a fee to take
the AP exam.
Students are encouraged to take these tests in the spring of their
JUNIOR year. Many students take these tests more than one
time. There is a fee for these tests. Students meeting financial
criteria need to consult with Counselor for a fee waiver.
TSI - Texas Success Initiative
Students attending Texas public institutions of higher education
must be in compliance with the Texas Success Initiative (TSI),
as of fall 2013 (Texas Education Code51.3062) in order to
enroll in public institutions of higher education. The law
requires all entering college students to be assessed for
college readiness in reading, mathematics and writing unless
the student qualifies for an exemption. Each student who fails
to meet the minimum passing standards of the exam offered by
the institution must be placed in a developmental educationprogram designed to help the student achieve college
readiness.
16 | P a g e
CP AND ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAM
College Prep (CP) courses are designed for highly motivated
students. The curriculum includes a wider range and greater
depth of subject matter than that of a general course; emphasis is
on higher level critical thinking skills. Students must take and
pass CP courses with qualifying grades in order to take AP
classes. A CP / AP Contract will be signed by all participating
students and their parents/guardians. The contract outlines
expectations for the courses as well as an honor policy.
Advanced Placement classes are college-level classes and allow
students to test in May. Those scoring high enough can qualify
for college credit. Students must contact the college of their
choice or visit www.collegeboard.org for further credit award
information.
DUAL CREDIT CLASSES
Many opportunities are offered at Ingleside High School to
allow students to obtain an advanced-level education,
including taking college courses for dual credit. High school
credit and college credit are awarded to students who
successfully complete the dual credit courses. Dual credit
courses are available to junior and senior students that are
college ready as well as ready for online learning. DC course
offerings are subject to change.
A Dual Credit Contract will be signed by all participating
students and their parent/guardian. The contract outlines
expectations for the courses as well as an honor policy.
Earning a B or better in a dual credit class will equal one
advanced measure for the Distinguished Achievement
graduation plan for students entering 9th grade prior to the
2014-2015 school year.
Option for dual credit at IHS:
Del Mar College
Students wishing to take dual credit must meet specific eligibility
requirements. Additionally, students must pay tuition and fees
for these courses. Del Mar College allows student to take up to
three dual credit courses per semester, as long as the student
maintains an average of 80 or higher.
Requirements for Del Mar College must be met. Juniors and
seniors must be TSI exempt. In order to qualify as College
Ready, the student should have taken the SAT or ACT and
scored 500 CR/Critical Reading and 500 M/Math minimum with a
CR/M composite of 1070 on SAT, or 19 English and 19 Math and
a composite of 23 on ACT, or take the TSI assessment.
Most are ONLINE courses. Students realize success
rests almost entirely on his/her shoulders. In this kind
of course, the college professor is a guide and a
resource to help the student, but the professor cannot
and will not "lecture" or lead face-to-face discussions or
follow a traditional classroom format. In online courses,
there is no "safety net" of seeing the college instructor
two or three times a week. Discipline and time
management on the part of the student is crucial. The
student must be very consistent and careful in
attending to the course requirements. He/she must
check the Calendar (on the course home page) daily, be
aware of due dates and deadlines, and seek help from
the online instructor whenever necessary.
Students are responsible for tuition and fees.
Books will be provided by Ingleside High
School.
If a student withdraws from of a dual credit class
after the beginning of a semester, he/she will be
placed in a REGULAR LEVEL (not CP or AP) class
or in a credit recovery class. Withdrawal grade
from dual credit class will reflect on student’s
transcript
Students must follow college deadlines for
dropping courses and will be accountable for lost
tuition and
fees.
