Counselor's Corner
Credit by Exam
The State Board of Education has established procedures to allow elementary students to “skip” one grade level by taking a series of exams which assess the Texas Essential Knowledge/Skills (TEKS) established for that grade level. Parents interested in having their children screened for credit-by-exam should contact their school counselor, Michelle Erickson at michelle.erickson@cfisd.net. If the school is unable to answer a question, please call Diane Garland at the Instructional Support Center (281-517-6848).
For Students in grades K-5 wanting to skip NEXT YEAR’S grade level, there will be 3 more opportunities to use “credit-by-exam” to accelerate to the next grade level (February, June, and August 2018). Students will only have one opportunity to test for each grade level considered. Students may be tested at their campus in February 2018 to accelerate for the upcoming school year (2018-2019). If students qualify, grade placement will be made at the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year.
