In the "Bachilleratos," or track system, a student's classes vary according
their own interests and future academic studies. For example, a student who would like to study language would choose a different track than other who would like to become a doctor. The four different tracks are: Arts, Natural & Health Sciences, Humanities & Social Sciences, and Technology.
Once placed in a track, students are expected to perform in the classes at their grade level. Spanish class offerings are more rigid than in the United States. For example, students are not allowed to take 10th grade math if they are enrolled as a 12th grader.
The grading system ranges from 0 to 10 with 5 being the passing grade.
