High School State Testing Grade Enhancements
This document is used to set the criteria and process for grade enhancement for approved tests.
Important Notes:
- Grade enhancements apply to both semesters of the same course.
- Only one grade enhancement may be applied per course per subject.
- Students may earn only one grade enhancement per content area (e.g., if enrolled in two courses within the same content area, the enhancement only applies to the on-grade level course).
- Students who tested out of a course are not eligible for a grade enhancement in that course.
- Grade enhancements apply to courses that students are currently enrolled in.
