The MCAS tests are
challenging. While many students perform well, others
may be disappointed in their results. Once students have
learned and studied curriculum that is based on the
state's learning standards and become familiar with the
testing format, the DOE anticipates that student
performance will improve.

Failure to Pass MCAS-
Beginning with the graduating class of
2003, if a student is unable to pass grade 10 MCAS tests
in English Language Arts and Mathematics, the student
will have multiple opportunities to retake those tests
before the end of his or her senior year. If the student
has been unable to pass those tests by the end of his or
her senior year, it is anticipated that the state Board
of Education will approve the awarding of a local
certificate of completion by the district to the student
if he or she has fulfilled all local requirements for
graduation.
