Explanations

Min to Progress: This reflects the least amount of credits in each subject that a student needs to move on to the next Tier.

Max Available: This reflects the most credits that a student can earn in each subject per year (excluding after school classes).

Per Year Totals: This row shows the amount of credits a student should have earned by the end of each year.

Cumulative Totals: This row represents the amount of credits a student will accumulate over the years

Minimum Grad Requirement: Total credits to graduate are 40.  A student will need to do more than the minimum at some point to complete 40 credits.  The missing 2 credits can be made up in after school classes, summer school or by doing more than the minimum in each cycle.
