Mathematics Requirements for Four-Year 24-Credit Option

1. Students must earn four high school mathematics credits, which must include Algebra 1
and Geometry. [Florida Statute § 1003.4282(3)(b)]
2. Three of the four required mathematics credits must be earned in Grades 9-12. However,
students who score a minimum of 550 on the mathematics portion of the Old SAT (prior to
March 2016), or a 570 on the mathematics portion of the New SAT (March 2016 and
thereafter), or a minimum score of 24 on the mathematics portion of the ACT, may be
exempt from the requirement that the three credits be earned in Grades 9-12 and may use
all high school mathematics credits earned in middle school toward the four-credit
graduation requirement. (Students should be reminded that meeting only the minimum
mathematics credit requirement might adversely impact college admission.)

3. The grades earned in high school courses, taken in middle school, will be included on the
high school transcript.

4. Students enrolled in Algebra 1 in 2011-2012 and thereafter, must meet satisfactory
performance or earn a Level 3 or higher on the Algebra 1 EOC Assessment, in order to fulfill
the graduation requirement. [Florida Statute § 1008.22(3)(b)1]
5. Beginning with the 2011-2012 school year, all students enrolled in geometry must take the
Geometry EOC Assessment. [Florida Statute § 1008.22(3)(b)1]

6. Students who enroll in Algebra 1 in the 2013-2014 school year and thereafter, must take
the Algebra 1 EOC Assessment and pass the course. Student performance on the Algebra 1
EOC Assessment constitutes 30 percent of the student’s final course grade. Students who
do not take the Algebra 1 EOC Assessment will receive an “I” in the course. After the
student makes up the EOC, the final grade will be recalculated.

7. A student must meet satisfactory performance or earn a Level 3 or higher on the Algebra 1
EOC Assessment to earn a Standard Diploma. A comparative score of 97 on the
Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (P.E.R.T.) will satisfy this requirement.

8. Students who enroll in Geometry in the 2013-2014 school year and thereafter, must take
the corresponding EOC Assessment and pass the course. Student performance on the EOC
