[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Graduation requirements by grade are listed here.

For the class of 2027, you can see that they require the Algebra assessment to graduate unless the class was taken during COVID.[/quote]

They require that the MCAP be taken, but not passed.  Pre-covid, the requirement was that they pass the MCAP.  Unclear if/when that requirement may change again.[/quote]

Wow, that's classic.  No need to pass; just need to take the test. [/quote]
The test will factor into the final course grade (20% of the grade). All four End of Course assessments (math, English, science, government)

"The MCAP EOC Exam will be incorporated into the student’s final course grade. There is no requirement for the student to pass the EOC Exam as a separate graduation requirement."

"Beginning with the 2023-2024 school year, all first-time 9th grade students will have the EOC Exam incorporated into the student’s final course grade as required by 13A.03.02 Graduation Requirements for High Schools in Maryland."

Still to be clarified from the state is how this will work with MCPS's semester based grades and when/how the score will get factored into the final grade.[/quote]

The state also has to figure out how to norm/scale the tests so results are not off the rails bad![/quote]
