Selection rubric
The table below is the rubric for selection of qualifying students under this program. Students expressing interest will be ranked based on their total score for all areas and allotted seats in classes based on their ranking. Although a student may qualify, the number of seats in any class may be limited resulting in some students not receiving placement in a class for that quarter or semester. Note: qualifying sophomore students are limited to one class a quarter at Clark or one class a semester at WSUV. Junior and Senior students may take more than one class through WSUV. All students must maintain a 3.0 GPA in their college class(es) to be eligible to take another college class through this contracted program.
NOTE: if a student has 5 or more unexcused absences they must have all teacher recommendations of “yes” and principal recommendation of “yes” to be considered for a college level class.
Scores will be used to determine eligibility and ranking for class seats.
*A tie score will result in a blind lottery ranking for students with that score for purposes of placement in classes.
