Abstract:

Promotion from grades three, five, and eight, as well as high school, now requires students to meet new statewide standards, called the Student Accountability Standard. In grades three, five, and eight students must demonstrate grade-level performance in reading, writing, and math. In addition to meeting local and state requirements for graduation, students must also attain a passing score on a new exit exam of essential skills to graduate from high school.
