They do not provide a full year of daily lessons, complete standards coverage, accredited courses or graduation credit. Suggested grade ranges, prerequisites and unit order are planning guidance; school pathways and elective availability vary. Calculus is excluded.
Subject-content contribution identifies a selected math, English, science or world-language skill. Common Core high school math uses conceptual categories, not universally assigned courses or grades. Mapping a skill to a course is an instructional choice. (+) Additional preparation identifies standards the official source marks for advanced study.
English uses the 9–10 and 11–12 bands; there are no separate Common Core English 9, 10, 11 or 12 codes. NGSS references identify the high school band and partial performance-expectation contributions.
Supporting Common Core literacy connection applies only to an actual reading, writing or communication activity. It does not establish science, social studies or elective subject-content alignment. Unverified subject-content mappings are labeled explicitly.
Spanish uses World-Readiness language standards, identified by their official names in the current summary. Common Core does not measure Spanish proficiency. Supported lesson practice is distinct from an independently assessed proficiency rating and from the course title.
Use North Carolina’s Standard Course of Study ↗ for local planning. No NC alignment is claimed without a verified crosswalk. Each mapping links to official wording, records its verification date and explains the part practiced.
