Exam Exemption Policy
High school students who are enrolled in a course that does NOT have a state-mandated, end-of-course assessment, may be exempt from taking the final exam.
Students may be exempt if ALL of the following criteria are met:
The student is NOT enrolled in a course with a state-mandated assessment
The student has maintained an A or B in the course
The student must have 6 or fewer tardies and/or early departure in the class (excused or unexcused)
The student must have 5 or fewer absences in a class (excused or unexcused)
Students are encouraged to take all optional exams if they feel the exam grade may improve their final course grade. For students who are exempt, choosing to opt out of an optional exam does not harm the student’s grade.
Required state-mandated final assessments must be taken. The final assessment will be 25% of the student’s semester average.
