Advance Courses
The following courses/course codes have been designated “Advanced Courses.” These are the courses that are used to evaluate MSIP Performance Standard 9.4.1. Basically, these courses are considered advanced because they are over and above the courses required for graduation. It is assumed that the content of the courses, in general, is at a level suitable for juniors and seniors who are preparing for postsecondary education or training.

In addition to the advanced courses provided on site, advanced courses provided off site will automatically be included in the calculation for 9.4.1 when the district submits a list of these courses (including course numbers) on Core Data Screen 22. A separate list must be submitted for each area institution that provides advanced courses (area vocational schools, community colleges, four-year colleges and universities, and electronic technology courses). International Baccalaureate classes are included in the list of advanced courses provided by the district or Core Data.
Advanced Course Calculation (as used in the Annual Performance Report):
- For each year of the five years ending with the previous year, multiply the enrollment in each designated advanced course by the unit of credit for this course reported in the October 1 Cycle of Core Data and total these enrollment credits for each year.
- For each corresponding year, multiply the number of class periods in a school day (credits possible in a school day) by the total number of juniors and seniors (11th and 12th grade students) reported in the October 1 Core Data Cycle. (If a school has an 8 or 10 block schedule, 8 or 10 would be used as the number of periods in this calculation.)
- For each corresponding year, divide the total of all advanced enrollment credits available each year (Step 1 results) by the total number of all enrollment credits available to juniors and seniors (Step 2 results).
Formula for Calculating Percent of Advanced Enrollment Credits earned by Students each year:
Total Number of Advanced Enrollment Credits Per Year
| Number of Class Periods in a School Day (or Number of Blocks in Block Schedule) | x |
Number of Juniors and Seniors (reported each year in Oct. 1 Core Data Cycle) |
