Special Programs and Classes
Ronald W. Reagan High School is an accredited International Baccalaureate Organization World School, and because of this the school offers a brand of IB credited classes. IB classes are only given to Juniors and Seniors, but Reagan policy is changing to allow underclassmen to take certain classes. Most of the IB classes are 2 year courses that requires a certain amount of internal and external assessments, with the students taking an IB exam in their second year. The class offers a score of N-7, with N being 0 and 7 being the hghest score you can earn. All of the external assessments are completed before the exam, with many of them being mailed across the planet to other IBO schools. IB college credits are given at many US colleges and colleges around the world.
Reagan's Credit Recovery program replaces its Summer School program with this online program that offers students classes that they have failed or haven't taken in the previous years. Credit Recovery or CR is a program that is taken online and it has a virtual classroom. The virtual classroom gives students online resources and notes that helps students to pass their tests and exams. The program can be very time consuming, but it is very helpful for the students at the school.
Reagan annually holds a Pep rally early in the 1st Semester and a Black History and International Program. These programs are held during school hours and most are student run. Reagan's Talent Show is also student run, but it ooccurs after school. The school also holds a now annual Reagan Film Festival, in which students who take the class IB Film present their films to an audience. This event also takes place after school.

Famous quotes containing the words special, programs and/or classes:
“The books may say that nine-month-olds crawl, say their first words, and are afraid of strangers. Your exuberantly concrete and special nine-month-old hasn’t read them. She may be walking already, not saying a word and smiling gleefully at every stranger she sees. . . . You can support her best by helping her learn what she’s trying to learn, not what the books say a typical child ought to be learning.”
—Amy Laura Dombro (20th century)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“Is a man too strong and fierce for society, and by temper and position a bad citizen,—a morose ruffian, with a dash of the pirate in him;Mnature sends him a troop of pretty sons and daughters, who are getting along in the dame’s classes at the village school, and love and fear for them smooths his grim scowl to courtesy. Thus she contrives to intenerate the granite and the feldspar, takes the boar out and puts the lamb in, and keeps her balance true.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
