The requirements for moving on to high school after middle school vary from country to country, state to state, and even school district to school district. In general, however, students are required to pass all of their core academic classes in order to move to the next grade level. This usually includes math, English, science, and social studies. In addition to passing all of their core academic classes, some school districts also require students to pass a standardized test in order to move to high school. This test is usually based on the material that students have learned in middle school.
If a student does not pass all of their core academic classes or the standardized test, they may be required to attend summer school or retake the classes that they failed. In some cases, students may also be held back a grade level.
The requirements for moving on to high school can vary significantly, so it is important to check with the specific school district or school that your child is attending to determine the exact requirements.
