505.5R - Credit Requirements for New Students

Students who complete four years of high school at Algona must have 44 credits to graduate of which 29 are required.  Barring failure, no students have difficulty reaching this goal.  All of our students carry 6 subjects per semester and some carry more.  However, students moving into Algona prior to or during junior or senior years from schools requiring fewer credits may have difficulty accumulating the requisite 44 graduation credits.
