Course Information Guide for Grades 7 & 8
A. General Information The information provided in this guide has been prepared to help students develop a long-term academic and course selection plan for the 2024-25 school year. Master Schedule The master schedule of student courses is developed following course registration conferences where students choose courses they would like to take. Every effort is made to spread out the courses so students have a wide variety of choices. Unfortunately, some courses will appeal to a smaller enrollment population, resulting in only one or two sections of the course. Students will need to prioritize the courses they want to take and have alternate selections for those courses that may be closed or present scheduling conflicts. B. AdvancedCourses The Bentonville Schools administration encourages each student to encounter rigorous curriculum in as many ways as possible. Seventh grade students have four advanced course options and eighth graders have many options including courses that are taken for high school credit. Advanced courses are noted in the course description section. Students who previously qualified for Gifted & Talented services in Arkansas must be enrolled in an advanced course to be coded with ADE DESE as receiving advanced services. ADE DESE (Arkansas Department of Education Division of Elementary and Secondary Education) honors our Accelerated/Advanced/Pre-AP as advanced. C. GraduationRequirementsandInformation Our junior high schools offer several courses which earn credit toward high school graduation and are listed below in the chart.
