Avon High School's Success With Edmentum Courseware for Credit Recovery

"Nothing comes without some hard work, and the students who put in the effort ultimately earn the credit and ultimately get to graduate. Without Courseware, without Edmentum, Avon's Online Education Center wouldn't be as successful as it is today." — Denise Handlon, Online Education Director, Avon High School (Indiana)

Avon High School, a large suburban school outside of Indianapolis, has completely transformed its credit recovery program, growing it from just 80 credits awarded annually to nearly 1,000, all while maintaining consistent academic rigor and integrity.

In this video, Online Education Director Denise Handlon shares how the school’s Online Education Center uses Edmentum Courseware to provide each student with a flexible and supportive alternative learning environment. 

See how Avon High School has:

• Scaled its credit recovery program to serve up to 60 students at a time with 1-on-1 teacher support.
• Worked with Edmentum to customize Courseware to meet specific learning needs.
• Leveraged built-in pacing features (like Courseware’s famous “running man” icon) to give students real-time knowledge of where they stand against target dates.
• Upheld academic integrity, requiring mastery on quizzes to build student confidence and performance.

By tightening expectations around credit recovery and pairing Courseware with teacher support, Avon High School has achieved its highest graduation rate on record—an incredible 98.4%.
