What type of school are we?

We are a high school. Students admitted to the McNamara School have completed elementary and middle school. The McNamara school is a public school with alternative academic standards. We have grades 9-12 and the number of credits a student has earned determines their grade level. The credit to grade scale is the following:

0-8 Credits - 9th grade (Freshman)
9-16 Credits - 10th grade (Sophomore)
17-24 Credits - 11th grade (Junior)
25-32 Credits - 12th grade (Senior)

Students that accumulate 32 credits will receive a high school diploma.
