Student Athletic Eligibility – Stoneham High School
To participate in sports at Stoneham High School, a student must pass six subjects each quarter. Please read the following for further clarification on academic eligibility:
Quarterly Eligibility: A student’s eligibility is determined by the grades received on each quarterly report card. Eligibility based on a quarter’s grades remains in effect until the next report card is issued.
Fall Eligibility: For the fall athletic season, eligibility is based on final grades and total credits earned from the previous academic year—not on fourth-quarter grades. To be eligible for the fall season, a student must have passed a minimum of six major subjects for the year, equivalent to 30 credits in major subjects.
Grade Requirements:
Incomplete grades cannot be counted toward eligibility.
Repeated courses for which credit has already been earned do not count again toward eligibility.
Summer school courses may only be counted if they are make-up courses for subjects previously pursued and failed.
Official Determination: Academic eligibility is officially determined only on the date when report cards are issued to all students and families.
