In June Sudbury Weekly reported on an initiative at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School to standardize course level designations across departments and make them consistent with the Common App for college applications.
At the time, the high school had settled on three levels: college prep, honors and high honors. But there was more work to do… The departments had to sort through the program of studies and assign a level designation to each and every course.
As of Tuesday, September 27, that work has been completed according to Superintendent Andrew Stephens. He presented the results of that work at the L-S School Committee meeting. You can access the full presentation from the meeting agenda here.
With all the decisions having been made at this point, all that’s left to do is deploy the new levels through the program of studies and update student transcripts. There’s a little bit of nuance in that process since transcripts will need to be updated retroactively, but Stephens was optimistic about implementing all the changes this year. Committee members lauded the work that went into the initiative, which spanned multiple years, and thanked Stephens for his work on this matter since joining the district.
