Families, it is important to stay informed about your student’s academic progress and credit status. Class standing is determined by the total number of credits a student has earned. The chart below provides a clear guide:
Credits Required for Class Standing:
Freshman: 0 – 5.5 credits
Sophomore: 6 – 12.5 credits
Junior: 13 – 18.5 credits
Senior: 19+ credits
Understanding your student’s credit total helps you track progress toward graduation and ensure they remain on pace.
Our Pathways Counselor is available on site and ready to walk you through your student’s classification and graduation plan. We encourage families to connect directly if you have questions about credits, class standing, or pathways to graduation.
The Ann Arbor Public Schools encourages all parents to set up a PowerSchool parent account. Please watch for updates here as well as information mailed from your school(s) and the central office.
