A. All students in the same course, regardless of the age of the student or grade the student is in when taking the course, receive the same weighted multiplier (Policy 7223). Students who reach more advanced courses earlier have the opportunity to take more advanced courses later in their high school career as illustrated by the Academic Progressions documents on the webpage: https://www.shenet.org/academics/
