Schools can deny students enrollment in electives if they feel the student needs more time in a core course. Electives are not mandatory for graduation any longer in most areas. Most high schools now require math all four years of school, even if the students are only required to earn so many credits. This can also be effected by what study tract your child may be on..college prep, general prep, vocational. Most high schools require students to do algerbra 1 &2, gemometry and depending on the study tract, calculus as well.

Meet with the prinicple. Before that, look up graduation requirements…classes needed as well as credits. If your son has met all qualifications on all levels, than you can ask they put him back in art. You can also see if there is a way to move him into a math class that would still allow him to take art. If he has that many electives to use, he can always give up something else.

If you son has already passes his state assessment tests, then how can he be required to take this class again? This sounds fishy to me.

At my school students are placed if they haven’t passed the test yet. Otherwise their electives are up to them.

Good luck Monday.
