Reporting Graduation Requirements

The page indicates the student's overall progress toward fulfilling Ohio graduation requirements for the three pathways displayed, and it shows the student's progress for each individual pathway. The page updates with the latest test score and course data each time you include the student in processing the Ohio Graduation Requirements Calculation.

• The status displays Graduation Requirements Met if the student fulfilled requirements at a given level. Displays Graduation Requirements In Progress if the requirements are not yet met.
• To achieve Graduation Requirements Overall Met, the student needs to meet requirements for one of the three pathways: Ohio state tests, Industry Credentials and Workforce Readiness, or college admission exam. Students graduating in 2020 are also eligible to use either of two alternate pathways.
• The Overall status does not factor the additional credit requirements for graduation.

Student's total graduation points from Ohio state tests. This is the sum of the Math, English, and Science/Social Studies subject areas.

To determine if the student fulfills the Ohio state exam pathway, the Ohio Graduation Requirements Calculation compares the student's total overall points to the Minimum Total Graduation Points Required.

The status displays Ohio State Testing Requirements Met if the student fulfilled requirements at a given level. Displays Ohio State Testing Requirements In Progress if the requirements are not yet met.

Student has passed or retook all taken exams (Alternate Pathway 1)

This is applicable to classes of 2017 and prior

Indicates if the student has fulfilled the end-of-course exam requirement by either passing each test or retaking any exam not passed on the first attempt. This setting applies to the alternate graduation pathways available for 2020 graduates; specifically, it applies to alternate pathway Option 1.

The Ohio Graduation Requirements Calculation checks student Test History records for the following OHIO-AIR subtests:

• Algebra I and Geometry or Integrated Math I and Integrated Math II
• English I and English II
• Biology
• American History and American Government

The student needs an Overall Performance Level score of at least 3 for each exam. The student needs to have a retake for any subtest with a score below 3 in order to fulfill this requirement.

You can manually override the calculated setting as follows:

1. Select Passed or retook all taken exams override (Alternate Pathway 1).

Specific Ohio state test, categorized within its appropriate subject area. Each test displays its own row of information, showing the student's highest score for that test. You can also see if the student has an Advanced Placement exam score, International Baccalaureate exam score, or College Credit Plus score for the test.

Overrides are available for each point total taken from Test History and student Mark Reporting records.

The Ohio State Tests panel is organized into three grids representing the subject areas where students must earn a minimum number of graduation points.

Each grid lists a separate row for the individual Ohio state testing areas within the subject area, followed by points earned from Test History records or, if applicable, a converted course mark. A Minimum Subject Area Points Required value displays for Math, English, and Social Studies/Science.

Highest graduation point value the student scored for a specific test. This value is calculated by the Ohio Graduation Requirements Calculation. Typically it comes from a student Test History record, unless the student took a course set up with a Course Mark-to-Points Mapping. Following are the sources used by the calculation:

• Test History subtest scores mapped to the testing area using Ohio Graduation Requirements Setup Page, if your district used this setup option.
• Test History subtest scores associated with the testing area's State Code Equiv in the Test Definition. Refer to Test Definitions for a listing of the codes for each Ohio state test.
• Student course Mark Reporting grade converted to Ohio graduation points. This is used for cases where the student took the associated course before its Ohio state exam was implemented or when the student took a course outside your district. Refer to Course Mark-to-Points Mapping for the setup details.

The Graduation Requirements Calculation gives the student the highest point value if multiple sources exist for the same test.

You can manually override the calculated value as follows:

1. Enter the new value in the appropriate Points field.
2. Select the associated Override box.
3. Choose an Override Reason. This prints on the student's Graduation Requirements Report.

A separate total displays for Math, English, and Science/Social Studies. Each subject area total is assessed by the Ohio Graduation Requirements Calculation to determine whether the student meets the minimum points required for that subject.

For the Math total, the calculation uses the following rules:

• The testing areas are grouped into two levels. One level comprises Algebra I and Integrated Math I. The other level comprises Geometry and Integrated Math II.
• The student can earn their required points based on the following combinations: Algebra I and Geometry; Algebra i and integrated Math II; Integrated Math I and Geometry; Integrated Math I and Integrated Math II.

Minimum graduation points required for each subject area. A separate value applies to each subject. The calculation uses these values to determine whether the student meets the point threshold in Math, English, and Science/Social Studies.

Displays one of the following values depending on the test result of the two subjects, Algebra 1 and English 2:

• Passed both Algebra 1 and English 2 tests
• Did not pass Algebra 1 test - Not eligible for alternate requirements (if tests are not retaken at least once)
• Did not pass English 2 test - Not eligible for alternate requirements (if tests are not retaken at least once)
• Did not pass Algebra 1 test - Eligible for alternate requirements (if tests are retaken)
• Did not pass English 2 test - Eligible for alternate requirements (if tests are retaken)

Displays Did Not Meet Exemption Requirement after the student attempted the IEP Exemption - Math test, received remediation, and took retest but did not pass. If the student has taken and failed the exam twice, Met Exemption Requirement will be printed in the Graduation Requirements report.

Displays and prints Met Exemption Requirement in the Graduation Requirements report if the student has taken and failed the exam twice. Otherwise Did not Meet Exemption Requirement will be printed in the Graduation Requirements report

The Retook but did not pass Math Exam and Retook but did not pass English Exam fields show “Did not met exemption requirements” when the student has not taken and failed the exam twice. On the other hand, “Meets exemption requirements” is when the student has taken the exam multiple times and failed each time. Also, whatever is in the two fields is what gets reported on the graduation requirements report not just “Meets exemption requirements”.

Displays one of the following values depending on the student's career experience and technical skill:

• Has Program Code (with the "Show Competency Requirements Met" alert message displayed)
• Does Not Have Program Code

Select if the student has completed the WebXam requirement with Proficient performance level.

Student must earn a score of proficient or higher on three or more WebXams in a single career pathway.

Highest total Industry Credential points value the student earned in a single career field. To determine career field totals, the Ohio Graduation Requirements Calculation uses the Industry Credentials validation table. It figures out the career fields in which to count each earned credential. You can see the applicable career fields displayed in a Credential's Applies To field.

The Graduation Requirements Calculation compare this total to the Minimum Required, and this determines if the student meets the Industry Credentials portion of the pathway. The student must also meet the WorkKeys assessment requirement to meet the Industry Credential and Workforce Readiness requirement.

Industry Credential points the student earned. Based on the student's Test History record for Ohio CTE Industry Certification, the Ohio Graduation Requirements Calculation finds the Assessment Area code in the Industry Credentials validation table. It finds the Points value for that Assessment Area and displays it on the student Graduation Requirements page.

The calculation totals points grouped by Career Field to determine where the student has the most Industry Credential points.

Student's score in each WorkKeys assessment area. The scores come from the student's Test History record for Test Definition WorkKeys-1-1.

Within the WorkKeys Test Definition, subtest score setups determine which score stores each WorkKeys assessment area value:

• Applied Mathematics comes from the AppMath subtest's Scale Score.
• Locating Information comes from the LocInfo subtest's Scale Score.
• Reading for Information comes from the ReadInfo subtest's Scale Score.

The calculation uses the student's highest score for each assessment area.
