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.
