I am going to be a junior in high school as of September. I am currently going into the year behind on 40 credits (5 credits per class per semester)
I am enrolling in Summer School this summer and next so, I'll potentially be caught up on 20 credits.
That leaves me potentially going into my junior year behind 30 credits and senior year behind 20.
What kind of options are out there for someone in my position?
i.e. Adult (NIght) School, Independent Study, etc, etc.
Anyone who knows what I am going through or can help, please please please answer!
Thank you.

go to a continuation high school
They are specifically designed to allow students to earn credits at an accelerated pace:
A continuation high school is an alternative to a comprehensive high school primarily for students who are considered at-risk of not graduating at the normal pace.
The requirements to graduate are the same but the scheduling is more flexible to allow students to earn their credits at a quicker pace since they are usually behind when they arrive at the continuation high school.

Anytime you use someone else's ideas or words and don't cite them, you've plagiarized. In general, to help you with this once you hit college, you want about 90% of anything you write to be in your own words. 10% correctly cited quotes. That's it. Will this impact your admissions chances? Remember, you've sent your interim transcripts, but you stilll need to send colleges your final transcripts, and your guidance office normally includes a guidance report with those transcripts. You need to find out what happens next. If all that happens is you fail this assignment, then no. But if a note about plagiarism gets attached to your file, or your transcript, or your guidance office recommendation that's sent along with your final transcripts, then yes. It could be the case that you get admitted, but if you fail the class or get your stuff marked for plagiarism, your admission could be rescinded. So find out what happens at your school re: this plagiarism, and whether or not colleges will be told. Go to your teacher first, then the guidance office.

Keep up with your summer school, that should help you out. Then look into junior colleges instead of regular colleges because your options are probably better there. If you haven't already, talk to your school counselor for more options.

wow, you're really behind...i'm going to be a junior aswell.
I was behind 30 credits. you could just do extra summer school.
as in go to classes, then also take some online courses.
there are also night classes...yet it would take up your whole summer.
the + is you get to graduate on schedule!!! :]

college classes or office work, for examole afterschool or during lunchtime you can work for them in exchange for credits, like making copies, answering phones. being a helper for the administrators. as long as you do good and give it your best you should be fine. i was like that too towars my last years in HS. i finished in time and had extra credits left. don't give up, believe me finishing high school is one of the happiest days of your life. some kids even cry at how proud they feel of themselves. making it through the rough specially. the counselor should give you advice and talk to you to make up a plan to catch up.

You may be able to take "concurrent credit" courses at your local college.. check it out.. but the number of classes is limited.

Talk to your school counselor & see what your options are. Night school might be your only recourse.

In high schools, you have a counselor, go ask your counselor. If not available, the principal.
