| BEYOND THE ATTAINMENT OF 3 CREDITS TO SATISFY THE SCIENCE REQUIREMENT FOR GRADUATION, ADDITIONAL COURSES TAKEN IN THIS DEPARTMENT SATISFY THE FREE ELECTIVE REQUIREMENT FOR GRADUATION. The science curriculum at Council Rock High School consists of three sequences. It is crucial that students follow the sequence recommended by their counselor. The student recommendation is based on grade performance, standardized tests, teacher recommendation, reading level, mathematics level, and the level of difficulty of the courses. Based on previous experience, parent overrides should be avoided.  |
