End of Course Exams
Beginning in the school year 2011 – 2012, all entering 9th graders will have to pass End of Course exams in order to receive a high school diploma. These EOC exams will be offered for 12 secondary courses: Algebra I English I Biology World GeographyAlgebra II English II Chemistry World HistoryGeometry English III Physics US HistoryEach EOC exam will count as 15 percent of a student's grade for that course. With the exception of the 3 English EOC exams, all EOC exams will be given in May. For students who do not perform well on the EOC exams, school districts will be required to provide acceleration.

Requirements for a High School Diploma
In order to earn a high school diploma, students do not have to “pass” all EOC exams that they take. Instead, they must earn a cumulative score that is at least equal to the product of the number of EOC exams they take and 70 with each EOC exam scored on a scale of 100. A student must earn a score of at least 60 for the score to count towards the cumulative score. For example: A student on the Recommended High School Program will take all 12 EOC exams. In order to receive a high school diploma, he/she must earn a total of 840 points out of 1200 possible on the 12 tests (with none of the individual scores being lower than 60). A student on the Minimum High School Plan might only take 8 EOC exams. In this case, he/she must earn a total of 560 points out of 800 (with none of the individual scores being lower than 60).

Other Noteworthy SB 1031 Information
School districts are not allowed to spend more than 10% of school time on district wide testing. TEA is charged with adopting a series of questions that will not determine a student's grade but will be used for reporting purposes. Some of these will questions will be used to determine a student’s college readiness. Some of them will be used to determine if the student is ready for advanced high school courses. By September 1, 2008, all school districts must report to TEA their readiness for administering the tests on-line In addition to the EOC exams, school districts will test 8th and 10th graders with a college prep assessment at state cost. 11th graders will also have the opportunity to take one college admission test at state cost. TEA will develop a list of assessments that qualify for these two requirements.

Schools should be places for learning, loving, and laughing. If we achieve that, we make dreams come true for everyone.
