  6. Assessments – The Big Picture

  7. Test Alternatives: Three Options GPA ComparisonA student’s grades in ELA or math are compared with others who passed the exit exam. This option is available to students in their 12th-grade year who have an overall grade-point average of 3.2. Students must have attempted an exit exam at least once. Alternative Assessment ScoresStudents may use their math, reading and/or writing scores on the SAT reasoning test, ACT or ACT Plus Writing tests, or Smarter Balanced assessments (starting in 2015) to show they have key skills. Students must attempt an exit exam at least once before attempting this option. Collection of EvidenceThe COE is an evaluation of a set of work by the student with instructional support from a teacher. Students must meet eligibility criteria and must attempt an exit exam at least twice before attempting this option.
