When a student fails a course, s/he may need to recover credit in that course. Several options are available to achieve this end.
Repeat the course -- the student can take the same course over again during the regular school year in the classroom.
Summer School -- the student can repeat the course in summer school; summer school is self-paced and lasts the month of June and costs $135 per semester course (1/2 price for students who qualify for Free or Reduced Lunch).
A+ -- a computerized, self-paced credit recovery program offered during the school day at BHS; students who are interested should talk to their advisor about being placed in an A+ class. Space is limited, as are course offerings.
Late School -- held at Lamar Alternative Center, the late school is for seniors only. It will start a few weeks into the fall semester and run through most of May. Like summer school, students work at their own pace. To be eligible, a student must need additional credits and not have room in his/her schedule. Students should get an application from their advisor.
