HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS AND WASL INFORMATION
Students in the graduating classes of 2008-2012, must pass the reading and writing WASL, a state-approved alternative to the WASL or an assessment for students in special education before graduating. These students can meet the state’s math requirement by passing the math WASL, a state-approved alternative or an assessment for students in special education, OR, they can continue to earn math credits until they graduate, AND take the math WASL at least once annually until graduation. Students who pass the reading, writing and math assessments earn a Certificate of Academic Achievement or Certificate of Individual Achievement and a high school diploma. Students who fulfill the math requirement by earning math credits do not receive a certificate but do earn a diploma.
High School students who took the WASL in March and April this spring will receive preliminary score results in early June. Students who did not meet standard on the WASL may want to take advantage of summer learning activities to improve his/her skills. There will be a WASL Prep Class offered free of charge to current Evergreen Public Schools High School students who have scored a “2” (near miss) on one or more of the required WASL tests (reading, writing or math).
