During the Shelton School Board meeting on July 8, 2025, officials highlighted the success of the summer program aimed at credit recovery for high school students. This initiative is part of the district's strategic plan focused on enhancing college and career readiness, particularly for ninth graders.
The program has been effective, with many students earning credits through a combination of online modules and tutoring. One notable aspect of the program is the inclusion of core classes, such as pre-algebra, which serves as a critical foundation for students' future math courses. The district reported that nearly all students who participated in the pre-algebra class last year successfully passed their algebra classes, demonstrating the program's positive impact on student achievement.
The emphasis on credit recovery reflects the district's commitment to supporting students in their academic journeys and ensuring they are well-prepared for future educational challenges. As the summer program continues, the district remains focused on providing effective learning opportunities that align with their strategic goals.
