*Tenth-grade students take the OGT in the spring. Students in
grades 11 and 12 who have not passed all required tests should participate in
the spring 2009 administration of the OGT. Eligible Proficiency-only students
who began ninth grade before July 1, 2003,** MAY keep any or all of the
Ninth-Grade Proficiency Tests (OPT) they passed prior to September 15, 2006, in
qualifying for a diploma. These students MAY take the OGT and use any
combination of the OPT and the OGT passes to meet state testing requirements.

Graduation Alternative
(Back to Top)
A change in state law now allows potential graduates who finished high
school, having completed all required coursework and passing all but one section
of the Ohio Graduation Test, to receive their high school diploma. To qualify,
students must have:
- passed all required high school curriculum;
- passed four sections of the Ohio Graduation Test;
- received a score of 390 or higher on the section of the OGT not passed;
- a 97% attendance rate, excluding excused absences;
- no expulsions;
- a 2.5 GPA in the test area not passed;
- a 97% attendance rate in intervention programs;
- a letter of recommendation for graduation from high school teacher
specific to test area not passed; and
- a letter recommending graduation from principal.
If you qualify for the graduation alternative, work with your principal to
complete the required paperwork; and return it to the Department of Testing,
Research and Evaluation at 70 N. Broadway, Akron OH 44308. |
