Students will take the GSE Algebra I state end of course assessment. The state EOC assessment will count 20% of the student’s final course grade and their final course grade will post to their high school transcript.
Credits are awarded on the high school transcript. One credit is awarded for the completion of the full year course. High school courses that are taken during the 8th grade year count toward graduation requirements. Grades for these courses are calculated into the local numeric and 4.0 scale GPAs (weighted and unweighted) that are printed on the official high school transcript. These courses will also count for class rank.
