Vocational: recommended for students who meet state minimum standards for graduation but are not able to meet L'Abris regular graduation requirements; these students may be accepted into a trade/vocational program (thus the name!); we do not recommend college for these students.
General: for students with no more than 5 remedial credits; the student is able to meet L'Abris regular graduation requirements; the student will likely be accepted into most college programs
