QUESTIONS
What is "testing out"?
A: Testing out is passing a high school course final exam or
equivalent with a minimum grade of C+ (77%).
What happens when students "test out" of a class?
A: Students receive credit, and they will a "T.O." (tested out) on
their transcript. The T.O.
does not calculate into students' grade point averages.
Is there a limit to the number of test-out exams
students may take?
A: No. Students may attempt to test out of all the credit areas
required for graduation in the Merit Curriculum. This does not include
the local requirements for graduation.
Can the school district deny credit to a student who is enrolled in a
course and has not met the district attendance policy?
A: Yes. However, a student who fails to earn credit for not meeting
attendance policy may still request to test out of a subject regardless
of the amount of class time or attendance. The opportunity to do so,
however, is limited by the testing-out timelines.
Will testing-out allow a student to graduate early?
A: Students must still follow the early graduation policy described
in the Student Handbook even if all graduation requirements have been
met.
Can students test-out of any of the new credit areas
required for graduation?
A: Yes, students can test out of any of the credit areas required
for graduation, and it is not limited to specific credit areas.
Can students get tutoring or materials to prepare for
testing out?
A: Teachers are not required to tutor or prepare students for
testing out. There are a limited number of textbooks available for the
students to check out of the Counseling Office.
