ASSIGNMENT  OF  STUDENTS  TO 
CLASSES  AND  GRADE  LEVELS

Students who apply for admission to grades one (1) through twelve (12) on the basis of prior schooling outside the District will be placed initially at the grade levels they have reached elsewhere subject to determination of accomplishment of standards required for that placement.

Assignment of a student to classes (classroom or subjects) are generally made based upon the student's grade-level assignment, completion of any prerequisites, achievement of any required standard, and any classroom limitations or class-size guidelines, in that order.  Per 6.19.9 NMAC, a K-3 student whose parents have requested acceleration, will be given consideration for grade level and class based on guidelines in the accompanying regulation.

The Superintendent shall establish procedures for guiding the review and assignment of students to classes and grade levels.
