Any Kenowa Hills High School student who has not passed a class in high school and will need to retake this class in order to meet graduation requirements, please complete this application.
In order to test out, students must adhere to the following parameters and deadlines:
Students may request to test out of only those classes they have not already taken (regardless of the grade earned). Once credit is earned through the testing out process, a student may not earn credit for a lower course in that subject's course sequence.
Credit is earned if the student earns a C+ (77%) or better on the corresponding course work or combination of examinations as determined by each department. Credit earned will be denoted as “Pass” on student transcripts and will have a neutral impact on the overall grade point average calculation.
Requests for test out must be in alignment with student EDPs and are subject to administrative approval.
Fully completed/approved request forms must be returned to the Main Office of Kenowa Hills High School by May 15. Testing out examination dates are set to be determined for each school year, but will occur during the summer.
