Final Assessments

All courses will have a final assessment. In some cases, these will take the form of traditional examinations, while other teachers may use the opportunity to provide students authentic, alternative, and project-based assessments. For year-long courses, the final assessment will be worth 7.5% of the final year average.
Seniors who maintain a numeric grade average in year-long, major courses may be exempted from taking a final exam. To be eligible for exemption, a senior must maintain a grade of 90 for the first three quarters, including the mid-year exam. This same standard is applied for seniors in a half-year, first semester class - a grade of 90 will exempt the senior from the end-of-course assessment.
Seniors who are enrolled in a science course through Project Lead the Way are not exempted from any final exams/assessments.

Should a student wish to reschedule a final exam, s/he must provide documentation to an administrator outlining the reason for the rescheduling. The administrator will provide a form for the student to issue to his/her teachers detailing whether the final will be scheduled to an earlier date or deferred.
