Science Pathway
As 8th graders, students will enroll in an integrated science course which will introduce new curriculum and reinforce key concepts from the sixth grade science, life science, and physical science curriculum. This course will also offer an opportunity for more project based learning.- In 8th grade, students will take the middle school science SOL.
- In 9th grade, students will take Environmental Science or Biology (SOL).
-
Advanced Science Pathway
As 7th graders, students meeting benchmark score criteria will take the middle school science SOL. Qualifying students will be provided supplemental instruction after school prior to testing.- In 8th grade, students will take the Earth Science SOL.
- In 9th grade, students will take Honors Biology (SOL) or Biology (SOL).
