OCC Advantage:
The OCC Advantage program is a college and career-readiness program offered to entering freshmen. The program supports the development of skills, behaviors and habits that prepare a student for success in high school, college and career. Students who successfully complete the OCC Advantage program while in high school will be eligible to receive a first semester full-tuition scholarship with the opportunity to earn three subsequent semesters at Onondaga Community College.
Spartan Academy (ESM) or Solvay Success Academy (SHS)
Students can earn 24-60 College credits during their 4 years of High School. If a student fulfills the 60 college credits that would equal a 2-Year College Associate Degree. The degree would be in Math/Science from Onondaga Community College.

Q: Will students going to high school be provided with transportation?
A: Yes, students will be bussed to either Solvay UFSD or ESM School District. The prospective district will contact you with transportation information.
Q: Can my child change schools if we discover the school does not fit my child?
A: After parents have committed their student to a specific school, the Superintendent will consider a transfer request prior to April 1 for the following academic year. After April 1st, only under extreme circumstances, will a transfer be permitted as it will impact the transcript of the transfer student and the tuition commitment made by the Lyncourt UFSD to the high school of choice. A student who would like the Lyncourt UFSD Superintendent to consider a transfer must submit a letter to the Superintendent articulating the rationale behind said request and his/her most recent report card prior to April 1st. After received, the Superintendent will schedule a meeting with the student and his/her parent. Beginning in the 2019-2020 school year, transfer requests will be considered from then current 9th and 10th graders and that will continue until the 4-year cohort cycle is completed.
