Graduation Requirements

order to graduate, a student must achieve a
cumulative score that is at least equal to the product
of the number of EOC assessments taken in that
content area and a scale score that indicates Level II
Satisfactory Academic Performance.
•A student must achieve a minimum score for each
EOC to count towards the student’s cumulative
score in English, Math, Science, or Social Studies.
•A student’s cumulative score is determined using
the student’s highest score on each EOC
assessment.
Graduation Requirements
• If a student does not achieve the minimum score on an
EOC assessment, the student shall retake EOC
assessment. The student does not have to retake the
course in order to retake an EOC.
•Note of Caution: A minimum score earned on each EOC
assessment may not be enough for the cumulative score
required for graduation.

requirement in each of the four content areas, students
on the Recommended High School Program, have to
achieve Level II: Satisfactory Academic performance on
the EOC assessments for English III and Algebra II.
