Achieving Classroom Excellence (ACE) Testing

The Achieving Classroom Excellence (ACE) Act of 2005 as Revised in 2006 states:
Beginning with students who enter the ninth grade in the 2008-2009 school year, every student shall demonstrate mastery of the state academic content standards in the following subject areas in order to graduate from a public high school with a standard diploma.

  1. Algebra I;
  2. English II; and
  3. Two of the following five:
    1. Algebra II,
    2. Biology I,
    3. English III,
    4. Geometry, and
    5. United States History.

To demonstrate mastery, the student shall attain at least a satisfactory/proficient score on the end-of-instruction criterion-referenced tests administered for these courses. The State Board of Education has approved a process for alternate tests and an alternate method for students to demonstrate mastery, including exceptions and exemptions to these requirements for unusual circumstances, as required by law.

The ACE Flowchart will explain the process of testing, remediation, and documentation on transcripts for most circumstances.
