End-Of-Course Assesments:
Beginning in Spring 2011, students will take end-of-course assessments in Algebra I/Integrated I and Geometry/Integrated II. Students in the class of 2013 and beyond must pass both end-of-course assessments or the comprehensive exam to meet the mathematics graduation requirement.
 

Beginning with the class of 2013, students will be required to earn either the Certificate of Academic Achievement (CAA) or Certificate of Individual Achievement (CIA) by meeting state learning standards in reading, writing, math and science.  Both the CAA and the CIA lead to a diploma. Only a student’s transcript indicates which certificate the student earned.  For more information, please visit the OSPI website.
