This class is for high school credit, counts for GPA, and class rank. Grades in 6 th grade must be strong in order to have a chance of being successful. We will consider some criteria (grades & perhaps STAAR scores) when filling seats in Spanish 1A. Spanish I AD is available in 8 th grade where students can earn 1 high school credit in 1 year. Students who do not get into Spanish 1A in 7 th grade (due to a restriction in the number of seats available) will be put at the top of the list for 8 th grade Spanish I AD if they so desire.
