Promotion of students to the next grade or retention in their present grade is based on consideration of the overall welfare of the student including academic, emotional, and social factors.  The principal, in consultation with the parents and faculty, will make final decisions regarding grade placement. “Promotion" indicates a student has satisfactorily completed grade level requirements for advancement.
Students with grades lower than C- in academic subjects or NI in conduct or effort are placed on “Academic Probation" and are given one trimester to show improvement and must maintain a higher grade for the remainder of the year or may be asked to enroll in another school the following school year.

If a student receives 2 “Fs" in 2 core subjects, the student will not be promoted to the next grade without a parent conference.  The teachers and school administration will then determine if there is outstanding course work to be completed prior to being promoted.  There will be times that teachers and aides may offer extra help to a small group of students or individuals.  The easiest way to improve student grades is by the student paying attention in class and completing all assignments.

St. Louis de Montfort School may not promote or issue a diploma to any student who fails to meet the academic requirements.​
