Reports of how many students pass the test will be an important focal point for school improvement. All schools in California are ranked according to an Academic Performance Index API , which shows if schools are making real progress each year.
Special versions of the test are available to help students who have special learning challenges. For example, the test can be administered in braille, audio CD, and large-print format, and when necessary schools will provide a scribe.
Students with physical disabilities will be entitled to the same accommodations they have during classroom instruction. State law allows local district school boards to make determinations about these special circumstances. Students must pass the exam in English in order to graduate. During their first 24 months in a California school, English learners receive six months of instruction in reading, writing, and comprehension in English.
The requirements for the exam can be found in Section of the California Education Code. The law was passed in by the California State Legislature. Thanks to the California Business for Education Excellence Foundation for providing information for this article. Please enter a valid email address.
Students must demonstrate knowledge in probability, measurement, basic geometry, basic statistics, and first year high school algebra skills. Students must be able to demonstrate reading comprehension, knowledge of grammar conventions, and writing skills. Writing skills are tested in an essay-writing format, requiring the student to show his or her ability to write a basic five-paragraph essay with logical flow, proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
Sections passed count toward the graduation requirement, and sections not passed can be taken again, sometimes two to three times a year. Passing the CAHSEE is not always accomplished, and many parents of kids with learning disabilities claim that the test is inherently unfair since it allows for few modifications.
When modifications, like needing a calculator or word processor to complete the test are allowed, the test score is not counted as passing. There are some ways to get around this. A school administrator can petition the school board to award a diploma to students who needed modifications to pass the test.
