End-of-course assessments will be administered in selected critical academic courses at the high school level. The results will provide individual student achievement levels as well as comparative data across schools, districts, areas, and the DoDEA system. Results of the assessments will not be used to determine whether a student passes or fails a course, but will provide meaningful information to the student, parents, and teachers concerning strengths and weaknesses of individual students and groups of students. College entrance exams (SAT and ACT ) are normally taken by students in grades 11 and 12 on a voluntary basis.
