The Governing Board recognizes the occasional need to allow students in grades 9-12 to take examinations which assist in the proper placement of students in the course of study. Students may receive credit by demonstrating a competency through examination and/or performance.
The examination given to students under this policy shall be a comprehensive examination which shall cover all of the objectives of the course being challenged. Successful completion of the examination shall be at a level which indicates mastery of the content and/or reasonable chance for success in the next higher course.
