The following criteria will be reviewed and taken into consideration when evaluating student progress:

1. Grades: Poor grades may indicate that students will struggle with a more independent learning environment, and a thorough review of the student’s academic file will be conducted to assess the student’s performance as well as their academic needs moving forward. All students in K-12th grade will be evaluated each semester.  Students should maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5 at the high school level or an A / B average in grades K-8. 
2. Attendance: The student should have no more than five unexcused absences and not become truant.
3. Elementary and Middle School students should score proficient on the previous years state assessment in English Language Arts and Math.  Students who are too young to take a state assessment will be evaluated based upon an iReady diagnostic screening test.  
4. The student should stay on-pace to graduate, with the designated graduation cohort, in 4 years and a summer.

Students who recieve notice that they will no longer be allowed to attend the virtual school have the right to appeal that decision. Anyone who would like an appeal should make that request to the iLearn Administrator within 48 hours of receiving notice of denial of admission. In these cases, a panel consisting of an iLearn Administrator and teacher will work alongside other Lenoir City Schools personnel to review any documentation submitted by the family to support enrollment.

Prior to the ninth grade, all students, with their parent(s) and an advisor, will develop a six-year plan of study. This proposed program will be reviewed each year. The purpose is to connect the student’s academic and career goals to appropriate classes. Students must choose a focused program of study, preparing them for post-secondary education in a college/university curriculum or in technical training.     

Elementary School Admissions: Academic Standing Requirements: In terms of academics, our goal is for every child to be at or above grade level in all subjects. If a student is below grade level in either math or reading according to I-Ready diagnostic data, weekly tutoring and support in our building may be required. In the case a child is below grade level in both reading and math, iLearn Institute staff will recommend the student attend traditional school.
