Interested in Testing Out of a Course?
Grand Ledge High School offers students a testing out process once a year over the summer months. Students may choose to test out of an MMC required course to further their scheduling options throughout their years of high school. This means a student can earn credit for a course without taking the class, as long as they can show they already understand the content. Students register to test out of a course they believe they have already mastered. Students must exhibit mastery of the course content by attaining a grade of at least 78%, C+ on a comprehensive final assessment/paper/lab as required for individual courses. Credits earned through the test out process will count towards graduation. Read more...

The student would then be encouraged to attend Saturday School with our Deans of Students to work on school assignments to ensure credit.

STUDENT SERVICES

Educational Development Plans (EDPs)
Grand Ledge Public Schools utilizes Xello, a comprehensive K-12 platform that prepares students for the modern economy. Through interactive activities, students build self-awareness, explore diverse career options, and develop the critical skills needed to succeed in the 21st century.

Xello is the platform students use to build and update their Educational Development Plan (EDP). This "living document" is a requirement of the Michigan Career Development Model (MCDM) and serves as a personalized roadmap for their academic and career future.

Student ownership is the goal, but family support is the foundation. We encourage you to talk to your students about their Educational Development Plan (EDP) and how they are using Xello to prepare for their future.  Parents/Guardians can utilize a Xello Family Account to stay connected.  Click the link below to learn more, and reach out to Mrs. Dykstra at dykstrak@glcomets.net to set up a Xello Family account.   Xello Family Account
