social studies, one each in physical education and fine or practical arts, half a credit in health, and five elective credits. Within the credit requirements are specific classes that must be taken while the remainder can be filled by elective classes. Beginning with the class of 2017, the school began using the Cum Laude system for recognizing academic achievement instead of class rank. Curriculum is based on state content standards set by the Ohio Department of Education as well as additional national standards. Since 1909, the school has been accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Roosevelt offers nearly 200 courses including 15 Advanced Placement (AP), 25 vocational education, and numerous elective and required classes at varying levels of interest and understanding. Advanced Placement courses are offered in biology, calculus AB and BC, chemistry, environmental science, physics 1 and 2, English literature, French, Spanish, U.S. government, human geography, U.S. history, statistics, and studio art. Successful completion of an AP course adds an additional point that is factored into a student's class rank. Additionally, students are able to take advanced courses at nearby colleges and universities such as Kent State University and the University of Akron through two post-secondary dual enrollment options, which allow students to take credits that either fill both their high school and college graduation requirements or are for college credit only. Vocational programs, known as Career and College Tech Prep classes, are available at the school and through the Six District Educational Compact, which includes the Cuyahoga Falls, Hudson, Stow-Munroe Falls, Tallmadge, and Woodridge school districts. The compact, established in 1969, combines and shares the vocational programs and resources of member schools and allows students to participate in the programs that are offered at each of the schools even if the program is at another building. There are 25 programs, 11 of which are housed at Roosevelt. Of the 25, six are College Tech Prep Initiative programs that allow students to earn both high school and college credits, while the remaining 19 programs are Career Programs designed to give students training and work experience. College Tech Prep programs housed at Roosevelt include those in athletic healthcare and fitness, manufacturing and engineering, landscape horticulture, and early childhood education. Career Programs housed at Roosevelt include two business-related programs, computer-aided design and manufacturing technologies, construction and remodeling, cosmetology, electronics, health technology, marketing, and out-of-school internships.
