student must take the Algebra 1 EOC Assessment and pass the course. A middle school
student’s performance on the Algebra 1 EOC Assessment constitutes 30 percent of the
student’s final course grade. Middle school 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. [Florida Statute § 1003.4156]

Middle school students enrolled in high school Geometry must take the corresponding EOC
Assessment, which constitutes 30 percent of the student’s final course grade, and earn a
passing grade in the course. Middle school students must meet satisfactory performance or
earn a Level 3 or higher on the EOC Assessment in order to earn a Standard High School
Diploma Scholar Designation. Middle school students who do not take the EOC Assessment will
receive an “I” in the course. After the student makes-up the EOC, the final grade will be
recalculated. [Florida Statute §§ 1003.4156, 1003.4282(3)(b), 1003.4285(1)(a)]

The requirements for out-of-country, out-of-state, private school, or Home Education Program
students who transfer into a Florida public school with a transcript that indicates Algebra 1
course credit, must meet satisfactory performance or earn a Level 3 or higher on the Algebra 1
EOC Assessment in order to earn a Standard Diploma unless the student met one of the
following requirements:

 earned a satisfactory score on an approved statewide assessment in Algebra 1
administered by the transferring entity; or
 earned a satisfactory score on an approved statewide mathematics assessment the
transferring entity used to satisfy the requirements of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act (20 U.S.C. s. 6301). [Florida Statute § 1003.4282]

If a transfer student’s transcript shows a final course grade and credit in Geometry , the
transferring final grade and credit must be honored without the student taking the requisite
EOC Assessment and without the results constituting 30 percent of the student’s final course
grade. However, to qualify for a Scholar Diploma designation, the student must earn a
proficient score on the EOC Assessment in Geometry (2014-2015 Grade 9 cohort and forward).

COURSES TAKEN THROUGH NON-DISTRICT EDUCATIONAL PROVIDERS

Students who participate in enrichment programs will not receive school credit. Courses taken
through other educational providers may be awarded credit, so long as the provider is
accredited by AdvancED®. The District and/or school designee will evaluate the course to
determine if and which course credit and weighting will be awarded. Prior approval is
recommended using the Non-District Educational Provider Course Approval Form, available at
the school, to determine course equivalency and weighting. Credit may be denied if
preapproval is not obtained. Students attempting credit for an EOC course must take the
