What should I do?
Its summer vacation and I believe its too late to start a summer school I'm not sure. I'm 17 I'm supposed to be a senior next year. I only completed one full quarter of my junior year. Although I missed alot of school due to personal reasons I wasn't behind. The only thing I need to complete for this year is my requiered English and History. I got half credits for both. I want to be able to be a senior next year. Any advice on what I can do?

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
All schools are different but me & you have the exact SAME problem! I'm suppose to be a senior next year too, but I failed 11th grade due to my attendance for personal reasons also. Weird, I know. Well it does depend on your school. My school hasn't started summer school yet, but summer school here, doesn't count for a passing class. Just to bring a grade up. My school also allows you to double classes. We have 4 classes a semester & 8 classes a year. So next year, I'll be able to take the classes I failed this year, then the second semester I'll be considered a Senior since I'll be taking the rest of my classes. The best thing to do, is talk to a guidance counsler at your school because their always willing to help you out and work with you if your graduating next year. I wish the best to you! ♥

Enroll in summer courses at your local junior college. Just one semester in college equals a year of that subject in high school. However, you will need to take a placement test in English so they can place you in a certain class (there are certain levels of English, and a certain level of college English may count as a certain English level in high school, so you must make sure that you place in the right one). For history you won't need a placement test.
However, you will need something called a concurrent enrollment form signed by your high school that allows you to take college courses while you are enrolled in high school. I would make an appointment with a college counselor so they can help you with this process. I would make an appointment now because the summer semester is starting very soon (at least in the college I go to).

call your school and ask as soon as possible, it may also be possible to be a senior but take extra courses by getting rid of your electives
good luck!
