Standards for Ingenuity High School Students

The philosophy of the Ingenuity Project is to nurture, develop and encourage the Ingenuity participant. In keeping with this philosophy, a student who continues to meet the standards of the program is accepted for all four high school years.

Ingenuity students are expected to have excellent attendance with no unexcused absences. This includes summer programs for Ingenuity. They are expected to maintain a demeanor that is respectful of fellow Ingenuity students and teachers and which honors the importance of the work. Students who do not meet attendance and behavior standards will be dismissed from the program.

Ingenuity students are expected to attain an 80 average or above in all course work. If at any time during the year an Ingenuity student is not showing consistent effort to meet the standards, the student and his/her parents will be asked to meet with the school and Ingenuity staff to assess the student's difficulties and determine the necessary steps for improvement in academic performance. Students who are continually unable to meet the demands of the Project will not reenter the program for the subsequent year. If students withdraw or are asked to leave because they do not meet the standards, they will be assigned to regular classes.
