    BEYOND THE ATTAINMENT OF 3 CREDITS TO SATISFY THE SCIENCE REQUIREMENT FOR GRADUATION,
    ADDITIONAL COURSES TAKEN IN THIS DEPARTMENT SATISFY THE FREE ELECTIVE REQUIREMENT FOR
    GRADUATION.
       
    The science curriculum at Council Rock High School consists of three sequences. It is crucial that students follow the
    sequence recommended by their counselor. The student recommendation is based on grade performance, standardized
    tests, teacher recommendation, reading level, mathematics level, and the level of difficulty of the courses. Based on



    previous experience, parent overrides shoulsci pic fd be avoided.
