GRADUATION INFORMATION
Georgia Testing Requirements (Milestones EOC Test)
Students entering 9th grade for the first time in the SY 2011-2012 or after are required to pass courses associated with an End of Course (EOC) Test. The EOC Test contributes to 20% of the course grade. Students are not required to pass the EOC Test.
Graduation Requirements
Graduation requirements are specific to the year a student first enters the ninth grade. Completion of these requirements does not necessarily qualify students for the HOPE Scholarship Program or for college admission. Please be certain to reference the correct set of requirements prior to planning course requests for the coming year. Students and parents, along with school personnel, have the responsibility for keeping a record of students’ progress toward graduation. School counselors will assist in keeping students and parents informed of students’ progress toward graduation.
