What is Credit Recovery (CR)?
Credit recovery allows students to recover credits from a failed Core Class (i.e. Math, English, Science, Social Studies, and Health). These credits are required to be on track to graduate on time.
Recovering a credit does not 'replace' the grade from the class. It recovers a required credit needed to graduate.
