In recognizing its responsibility to uphold the minimum educational standards of the State of Wisconsin, the Board of Education establishes the following policy and criteria regarding the acceptance of credits for students transferring to the high school from nonpublic schools whether they are private schools, as defined by law, or other types of schools.

For credit or course-work to be accepted for courses taken in such schools, assurance of compliance with minimum requirements established by the State must be provided. Recognition of credits or course-work shall be granted when the proper assurance and the student's transcript has been received.

Accepted credits from nonpublic schools will be entered on the student’s transcript with a notation of the school at which the credits were earned.

Grades in courses from nonpublic schools, other than home-based schools, that have been accepted for credit will be entered on the student’s transcript. Such grades will be considered for grade point average and class ranking.

Credits and grades from home-based schools shall follow the provisions set forth in AG 9270 – Home-Based Private Education Students.

The District reserves the right to assess such transfer students in order to determine proper placement and to be assured the student can demonstrate the academic proficiencies which are prerequisite to a placement.
