EOG/EOC Retesting Opportunity: Beginning the 2025-2026 school year, students who score Not Proficient on an End-of-Grade (EOG) and/or End-of-Course (EOC) assessment are eligible for one retest opportunity per subject each school year. Retesting provides students an additional opportunity to demonstrate academic growth and progress. For EOC courses, the highest score earned will count as the exam grade.

In order for a student to retake an exam, parent/guardian consent is required. Please complete the Retesting Consent Form linked below to grant permission for your child to participate in retesting if needed. Families will be contacted after exam results are received if their child scores Not Proficient and is eligible for a retest opportunity.
