Summer Credit Recovery & Enhancement 2025 INFORMATION 

 

Kirkwood High school offers Summer Credit Recovery and Enhancement courses for its students during the month of June. The program consists of credit recovery and credit enhancement courses. You may enroll in either credit recovery or credit enhancement-not both. Both programs require strict attendance-lack of attendance will result in students being dropped from the course. 


Credit Recovery

Credit recovery courses are designed for students who fail a core class (Social Studies, Math, English, & Science) and must retake the class to meet a graduation requirement. Courses run 4 hours in length for 16 days.  

The dates for Credit Recovery are May 28th through June 18th. This would include the following Fridays - 5/30, 6/6 and 6/13. 

If you are enrolled in Credit Recovery, you are ineligible to take Credit Enhancement courses.
