    High School Summer School allows in-district students entering grades 9-12 to take courses for credit recovery, academic advancement, and/or accelerated learning. 

    • Credit Recovery courses are taken by students who previously failed a course. However, these courses are not NCAA-approved. Credit Recovery students have already taken the course but did not receive credit for the course due to a failing grade or incomplete hours. Credit Recovery courses are marked with the designation CR. 

    • Original Credit courses are taken by high school students to gain academic advancement and to earn credit for the first time.  They can also be taken by those who failed a course and want to earn an NCAA-approved credit for that class. Students taking an Accelerated Course may try to graduate early or take courses, so they have room during the year for electives or more challenging courses. Accelerated courses are marked with the designation ACC.

    • STAAR/EOC (End-of-Course) Online courses are available to help students gain the necessary knowledge to pass a STAAR/End-of-Course, end-of-course assessment that they did not pass in either the 2023 – 2024 school year or the previous school year(s). These online courses are designed to meet the requirements of HB 1416 which was enacted in June 2024.  Students must complete the entire course and pass the exam with a 70% or higher to receive credit.   

    • STAAR/End-of-Course Testing: Students who need to take a STAAR/EOC Test will test on June 17, 18 & 20, 2024, depending on the assessment the student needs. The link to register for the specific tests will be shared on this website as soon as it is available.

    International Student Summer Program

    Is this program optional for my student(s)?

    This depends on the plan your child has set for graduation. This program means your child failed a class and needs to retake it for credit. The goal of credit recovery is to help students gain credit for a failed class and graduate on time.

    The goal is to get ahead or make room in the child’s schedule for the future.

    If your child failed any high school STAAR/EOC test in one of the following tested subjects:

    • English I or II
    • Biology
    • US History
    • Algebra I

    The International Student Summer School provided by the district is designed for students to receive credit for courses they missed or to obtain credit for courses they plan to take in the future.

    Other High School Offerings:

    College Math Prep Class

    This summer, 91ÖÆƬ³§ will offer remediation for the Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA2) for mathematics through our summer school program.  Your child qualifies to participate in the TSIA2 mathematics remediation because s/he took the College Preparatory Math Course this past school year and has not yet earned a passing score in the TSIA2 in the area of mathematics. 

    The TSIA2 is used to determine readiness for college-level work.  Based on how a student scores in the assessment, the student may either enroll in a college-level math course and/or be placed on a developmental math course.  The purpose of the remediation is to allow students to work on identified areas for improvement with the support of a 91ÖÆƬ³§ teacher and retake the TSIA2 math assessment to achieve a passing score, allowing students to enroll in college-level math courses at TCC. 

    The 91ÖÆƬ³§ TSIA2 remediation program runs from June 7th through June 30th, Monday to Thursday.  A 91ÖÆƬ³§ teacher will be available to students from 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM every school day. Students will take the TSIA2 mathematics assessment again at Richland High School at the end of summer school.  There will be no cost for the student to take this course or the TSIA2 assessment.  This remediation course is only for students who were enrolled in the College Prep Math course during the 2023-2024 school year.

    If you have any questions, please contact your child’s campus counselor.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I log in and access my course?

    Login using the Birdville Portal at  Your username and password for the Birdville Portal will be the same as you used to log in to a desktop computer in a lab at your school.

    What if my login does not work for the Birdville Portal?

The B in the course title indicates the course is for credit for the 2nd Semester (Spring Semester). It is important to make sure that students are signed up for the semester/semesters they need credit for.

    What is the difference between Credit Recovery and Acceleration for Original Credit?

    Students may be signed up for any combination of these 3 courses (credit recovery, EOC (End-of-Course) remediation, or acceleration for original credit). However, they all serve different purposes. A credit recovery course is taken by students who failed a course in the previous year. However, these courses are not NCAA-approved. Credit Recovery students have already taken the course but did not receive credit for the course due to a failing grade or incomplete hours. Credit Recovery courses are marked with the designation CR. An Accelerated course is taken by students to earn credit for the first time and also can be taken by those who failed a course and want to earn an NCAA-approved credit for that class. Students taking an Accelerated course may try to graduate early or take courses, so they have room during the year for electives or more challenging courses. Accelerated courses are marked with the designation ACC.
