It was the aca- demic achievement record, -- the transcript - however, that re- corded individual accomplish- ments, activities, courses com- pleted and class ranking. In addi- tion students must pass the exit level TEAMS test initially given in the junior year. Not passing the TEAMS meant no diploma. Requirements set 21 credits as minimum for LISD grads after 1987. But the more diligent stu- dent could choose an advanced transcript or the advanced-with- honors transcript. These channels set narrowed paths of prescribed courses including 4 English, .5 math, 5 science, 1 computer sci- ence and 2 foreign language cred- its. Advanced with honors meant at least Hve honors courses. Weighted honor courses often sent GPA 's soaring to 4.6 or above on a 4-point scale. Too, some colleges accepted only those who ranked in the up- per 25 or 10 percent of their graduating class. Rank in class was determined by grades in freshman through senior years. At Coronado, one specific result of the heightened emphasis on grades was seen in the numbers of study-hall takers. What used to be two larger study halls cram- ming about 500 students per peri- od turned into one study hall half filled each period. The old Room 110 - once a huge study hall - was converted in summer into new classrooms as Mustang classes bulged. Hot a single room was vacant during the first four periods of the day. And so, the emphasis on making the grade meant some who had never cracked a book were no longer breezing along. Studying, at least occasionally, was in it for them.
