High School Assessment (HSA) Information

Students who graduated in June 2011 were the last class of students to whom the Government HSA requirement applied. Read more about this change.

All students who will graduate in 2012 and beyond, and who entered grade 9 in fall 2005 and later, must meet the HSA graduation requirement by passing all three HSA tests (algebra/data analysis, biology, and English), earning a combined score on the three tests of 1208 or higher, or completing the required Bridge Plan projects.

Students who have previously taken the Government HSA may continue to use the combined score of 1602 on all four assessments (algebra/data analysis, biology, English, and government) to meet the high school graduation requirement.
