Students need to complete 10 credits of a physical science and 10 credits of a life science in order to
graduate. Sports Physical Therapy is an on-campus ROP life science class that awards students life
science credits for graduation. Integrated Science will be offered for students that need to make-up
physical science credits.
If a student fails a semester of a course, they need to retake that semester of the course the following
year or complete the semester of the course in summer school (honors courses, AP courses, and science
courses above chemistry are not available in summer school).
This guide is the recommended sequence based on Irvington student performance data.
Students cannot take more than one science class during the 9th, 10th, or 11th grade.
