• First, at the end of their 9th grade year. Ninth grade students who have earned a minimum of four
(4) credits, of which one credit is in English and one credit is in mathematics, will be promoted
with their “class” to 10th grade.
• The second time we review student records for promotion is at the conclusion of the students’
sophomore year. Students are required to gain a minimum of 10 credits. Students must earn two
credits in math and two credits in English, included in the 10 credits.
• The third time we review student records for promotion is at the conclusion of the junior year. In
order to achieve senior status a student must have earned at least 16.5 credits. A junior who has
been retained and who expects to graduate that year may be promoted to senior status at the end of
semester one. The promotion will occur if the student has earned the necessary 16.5 credits and
has the potential to earn 24 or 25 (Class of 2023 and beyond) credits necessary to graduate from
Enfield High School.
SUMMER SCHOOL
Summer school courses will carry credit. Students may elect summer school courses in other accredited
high schools provided that the course content is equivalent and provides a minimum of 60 hours of
instructional time. Approval must be obtained from the administrators and/or counselors prior to
enrollment. A complete summer school policy is available from your guidance counselor.
