Students To Take End-Of-Course Tests
{Kentucky}...As authorized under Senate Bill 1, the wide-ranging education reform measure approved by the Kentucky General Assembly in 2009, Kentucky high school students in public schools will be required, beginning this year, to take end-of-course tests for students taking English II, Algebra II, Biology and U.S. History in order to measure what they’ve learned. Scores will be figured into Kentucky’s accountability system, which measures schools progress in moving students toward proficiency. The state Board of Education has also recommended the results be counted as at least 20 percent of the student’s final grades in those courses.
