No room for error: Students need more credits to graduate

There won’t be room for failure anymore.

The number of high school credits required to graduate is increasing to 24 at the state level. With a standard schedule of six daily classes for four years, a student would need to pass every course.

The new threshold takes effect for the class of 2019. However, many school districts received a two-year waiver, so this year’s sophomores will be the first to need 24 credits.

Monroe and Northshore schools do not have waivers. The requirement is for this year’s seniors.

The statewide change is an increase from 20 credits. Local schools already have a higher standard, including Everett and Edmonds, where students need 22 credits.
