Statewide Assessment

The passing score for statewide assessments required for adult high school graduation or for course
credit. Beginning in 2014-2015, students must pass the English Language Arts (ELA) assessment to earn
a standard adult high school diploma. A student can also substitute a concordant score on the ACT,
SAT, or PERT (for Algebra I), to the meet the graduation requirements. Comparative and concordant
passing scores for the statewide assessment programs were adopted by the State Board of Education
in the fall of 2013 and are listed in the Graduation Requirements for Florida’s Statewide Assessments.

Please visit the Graduation Requirements for Florida’s Statewide Assessments document in its entirety
for additional graduation options and clarification, links to a variety of helpful resources, and contact
information. If a student enrolls in AHS and his or her 9th grade cohort group has graduated, his/her
graduation requirements will be determined by the passing scores in effect for the current graduating
class. Florida Statute §1008.22 does not impose any requirements regarding the number of attempts, if
any, on the statewide assessment, before a concordant score may be applied.

Assessment Requirements for Students with Disabilities
Students with disabilities who have withdrawn and enrolled in adult general education are not eligible
for an FCAT or EOC assessment waiver. However, if an adult high school student with a disability has
not yet reached age 22, the student has the option of re-enrolling in school (K-12 system) and
requesting an eligibility staffing for ESE.

Transfer of Credit Guidelines
Purpose
State Board of Education Rule 6A-1.09941 was intended to establish uniform procedures relating to
the acceptance of transfer work and credit for students entering Florida’s public schools effective July
1, 2013. The rule increases consistency in the credit transfer process and fulfills the State Board’s
responsibility to prescribe “procedures relating to the acceptance of transfer work and credit for
students” as required by Florida Statute §1003.25(3).
