1 Welcome to Mountain Ridge High School! Dear Parents/Guardians, You are the most important and powerful people in your children s lives. It is important to be interested and involved in your child s academics, activities, and in planning his or her future. Parents can take an active role in helping students prepare for college by checking to see if they are taking a college prep curriculum, signing up for the right tests, and following the recommended action plans. This packet is designed to provide you with the information and resources you need to guide and advise your children as they plan and prepare for college. This packet will not, however, provide the answers to all of your questions, nor will it address the needs of all students. For answers to individual questions, or for personalized advice, please contact your student s counselor in the Mountain Ridge Counseling Office. MRHS Counselors: Last Name (A-Da) Last Name (L-Ph) April Meyeres Wendi Matthews april.meyeres@dvusd.org wendi.matthews@dvusd.org Last Name (De-F, S) Last Name (Pi-R, T-Z) Annette Bernard Lisa McMorrow annette.bernard@dvusd.org lisa.mcmorrow@dvusd.org Last Name (G-K) Gizelle Wong gizelle.wong@dvusd.org

2 BEGIN PLANNING NOW 1. Understanding the Academic Record Student Transcript The MRHS transcript is a document detailing a student s academic achievements in high school. It contains courses taken, semester grades, credits earned, cumulative GPA, and class rank. Colleges will require an official transcript, which includes a signature and a stamp or seal, to be forwarded for admission. This is requested by completing a transcript request card. These are available in the front office. A student or parent can also request an unofficial transcript from the registrar or any counselor at anytime. Grade Point Average (GPA) Colleges consider a student s GPA an important criterion for college admission. On the Mountain Ridge transcript, a cumulative GPA is posted. This is the average of a student s semester grades in all classes, starting with the freshman year. MRHS is on a 4.0 scale and weights grades for Honors and AP (Advanced Placement) classes: A=4 points, B=3, C=2 and D=1 for regular level classes. For Honors and AP classes: A=5 points, B=4, C=3 and D=1. Since applications for colleges are completed at the beginning of the senior year, the GPA at the end of the junior year if very important. Class Rank MRHS uses class rank to show where a student stands academically in relation to other members of his/her graduation class. Class rank is important in determining college admission and for scholarships. It is presented with the student s standing in class followed by the total number of students in the class (e.g., 22/657). Only the following courses will be used when calculating class rank: Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior Language Arts Language Arts Language Arts Language Arts Math Math Math Math Science Science Science Science Social Studies Social Studies Social Studies

3 Education and Career Action Plan (ECAP)/The Four-Year Plan The Four-Year Plan is an individualized tentative 4 year schedule of classes for each student. It is a part of the Education and Career Action Plan which includes grades, test scores and academic and career goals. Parents should review the ECAP annually at the time of registration and make necessary revisions with their student. The website is: 2. College recommended courses Four-year colleges recommend students complete certain college preparatory courses while in high school. Arizona universities require: 4 years of Language Arts 4 years of Math 3 years of Lab Science 2 years of the same Foreign Language 2 years of Social Studies 1 year of Fine Arts or CTE The more selective and competitive colleges would consider the above as minimum requirements and would prefer students who have taken Honors and AP classes. Most selective schools ask for a list of Honors/AP classes offered at MRHS to determine if the student challenged him/herself. Check the college websites of out-of-state schools for required high school classes for admission. Arizona universities require the 16 core classes. Students in the top 25% of their class will be guaranteed unconditional admission. Arizona universities each set their own criteria for conditional admission for students not in the top 25%.

4 3. Testing AIMS Science Freshmen are required to take the AIMS Science exam on April 14, AzMERIT (Arizona s Measurement of Educational Readiness to Inform Teaching) is a computer-based test and is Arizona s statewide achievement test. Students will take end-of-course assessments that will test their proficiency in the following subjects: English Language Arts 2, 4 and 6; Algebra 2, Geometry 2, Algebra Applications 2, and Algebra 4. Spring state testing will be March 28-May 6, PSAT Sophomores and juniors have the option of taking this test in mid- October. The College Board determines the date. The PSAT is intended for juniors, but many sophomores choose to take it as well. The test predicts how students will perform on the SAT. Juniors scoring in the top 1% in the state will qualify as semi-finalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program - one of the highest academic honors in the country and will have the opportunity to advance as a Finalist. Students can register and pay for the PSAT at the MRHS bookstore beginning in September. There are a limited number of tests available. ASVAB Juniors have an opportunity to take this free test in October. In addition to traditional tests of academic, verbal and math skills, it assesses vocational aptitudes in word knowledge, paragraph comprehension, arithmetic reasoning, mathematics knowledge, general science, auto & shop information, mechanical comprehensions, electronics information, numerical operations and coding speed. There is NO obligation to the military for students taking this test. Advanced Placement (AP) Exams For a fee, students enrolled in AP classes can take these national tests in May of each year. If students score well, most colleges will award college credit and advance them to the college sophomore level in that subject. MRHS offers many AP classes that prepare students for the exams. Visit to see how AP credit transfers to Arizona universities.

5 ACT The ACT is a national college admissions exam. The ACT tests English, Math, Reading and Science Reasoning. It is recommended that students take the test by the end of their junior year. The test also has the ACT Plus Writing option. Students are encouraged to check the ACT website to see if a college of interest recommends or requires it. Arizona universities do not require the Writing Plus for admission. More information is available at SAT Universities use the SAT to assess an applicant s aptitude for college level work. The redesigned SAT assesses Reading, Writing and Language, Math skills. It also includes an optional Writing option. It is recommended that students take the test by the end of their junior year. More information is available at SAT II This test is a subject test offered by SAT. Arizona universities do not require it. Check the website of the out-of-state college you are considering to see if the SAT II is required. Accuplacer or Writeplacer This placement test is required for students who plan to take English (ENG 101/102), College Math (MAT 142), College Algebra (MAT 151), or Pre-Calculus (MAT 152/182) dual enrollment classes with Rio Salado Community College on the MRHS campus. Students will have the opportunity to take the Accuplacer or Writeplacer through their math and language arts classes at MRHS. Seniors who plan to attend a Maricopa County community college full-time after graduation need to have taken all three parts of the Accuplacer and Writeplacer(Reading, English and Math) to register for classes.

6 POST-SECONDARY OPTIONS Four-Year Colleges/Universities A 4-year college/university offers coursework that leads to a bachelor s degree or higher. A university is actually a collection of colleges within one system. There are more than 3,800 four-year colleges/universities in the United States. Community/Junior Colleges Two-year colleges are also known as community colleges or junior colleges. They usually offer the following options: Certificate Programs This trains students in specific career skills in as short a time as possible.

It may include a few core academic courses but most courses are geared toward career training. Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) An associate degree allows entry to many jobs after two years but it is also designed to transfer to 4-year programs. Career/Technical Schools Career/Technical schools offer short-term programs that train students in numerous trades or occupations.

MRHS students have the options of participating in West-MEC programs both concurrent with high school classes or upon high school graduation. To learn more about West-MEC and their programs, visit
