How many credits are need to graduate high school?

Answer 1

And remember this was written by a grade six student who goes to mount royal public school in Brampton and she is in ms. Kasermann's class. She is a very very pretty little girl. And the year and date this was published was on February-27-2008!! --

High schools have a list of required credits that you must take in order to graduate. Most high schools require four years of English and Math, three years each of History and Science; two years of a foreign langauge or artistic class (these vary); and various other credits.In CA you need 220 ,or sometimes 180 credits to graduate. Usually a person takes 6 classes a year. Each class will earn you 5 credits. Now add in first and second semester and you have 60 credits a year on average. So, 60x4 is 240 which is more than enough, but that is only because you add in electives and you don't always pass your classes. Usually without the electives it is 180 to graduate.

Hope this helps.

Some states do have a minimal plan of graduation with only 600 credits, however, this plan will prevent a student from getting financial assistance in college.
