The school year and the school day
| Academic year | 8 September 2026 – 28 May 2027 |
| Instructional days | 170 |
| Terms | Four quarters, two semesters |
| First bell | 8:30 a.m. |
| Dismissal | 3:15 p.m.; Friday 1:40 p.m. |
The day runs on four ninety-minute blocks Monday through Thursday and three on Friday. Each course meets three times a week for 270 minutes, against a Carnegie floor of 120 hours for one credit.
Students change rooms three times a day rather than seven. A laboratory period runs start to finish inside one block.
Curriculum and credit
Every student carries six one-credit courses a year, one in each block:
| Mathematics | 1.0 credit a year |
| English | 1.0 credit a year |
| Science | 1.0 credit a year |
| Social Science | 1.0 credit a year |
| World Language | 1.0 credit a year |
| Elective | 1.0 credit a year |
Six credits a year, twenty-four across four years. The diploma requires twenty-four credits.
Advanced Placement
Reagan is a College Board member school. Advanced Placement courses run on the same ninety-minute block as every other course and hold no more than twelve students. Examination registration is handled by the school.
College credit while enrolled
A student may enrol concurrently at a local community college and earn college and high school credit for the same course. Whether a course transfers is decided by the receiving university, not by Reagan.
Online Academy
Courses outside the six-block day — credit recovery, an additional world language, an elective the schedule cannot hold — are transcripted by Reagan and count toward the diploma.

No matriculation data
No class has yet graduated from the Laguna Hills campus. This school publishes no college acceptance list, no matriculation figures, and no standardised test averages, because it has none. Any such figures attributed to this school belong to earlier campuses. We will publish our own results when we have them.
