Students showing outstanding academic achievement and meeting Honor Roll requirements are recognized with a certificate at the end of each marking period. To be eligible for the Honor Roll: A student must receive five (5) numerical grades in credit bearing courses (excluding Physical Education). BOCES courses will count as three (3) of the necessary numerical grades. A grade of Incomplete (I) disqualifies a student until the numerical grade is recorded. A failure in any subject or a grade of Dropped Failure (DF) makes a student ineligible for the Honor Roll for that marking period. There are two distinct Honor Roll certificates: First Honors- Average 90 – 100 Second Honors- Average 85 – 89.9
