All California public school students are required by state law to pass the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) as well as satisfy all other state and local requirements to receive a high school diploma. All students, including English Language Learners and students with disabilities, must take the CAHSEE. Students must earn a score of 350 or higher on each portion of the CAHSEE which is divided into two parts: (1) English Language Arts (reading and writing) and (2) Mathematics. Both portions of the CAHSEE must be passed in order for students to receive a high school diploma. All CAHSEE questions are aligned to California content standards adopted by the State Board of Education. Information can be downloaded from the internet at http://www.cde.ca.gov./ta/tg/hs.admin.asp. Students who do not pass the exam in the tenth grade will have additional opportunities to re-take portions not passed in the 11th and 12th grade.
