Comprehesive Course Assessments (CCAs)






   
   The SKHS diploma system requires students to show proficiency through 4 different measures:
    1.  Successfully completing 24 credits  - see guidance website
   2.  NECAP testing - see NECAP page
   3.  Successfully completing a Graduation Portfolio - see PBGR Home Page
    4.  Comprehensive Course Assessments - this page


    The CCA is the one of the four measures of proficiency that students are required to complete in order to graduate   from SKHS.  Each student must submit 8 proficient (score of 3 or better) Comprehensive Course Assessments (CCA)   over 4 years.
            2  Math
            2  English Language Arts
            2  Science
             2  Social Studies  

  • The CCA is defined as the Performance Based section of the final exam for each course.  
  • Students may substitute a math and/or science NECAP score of 3 or better for a CCA in math or science and a NECAP score of 3 or better in writing to replace an ELA CCA.
  • Senior year CCA’s  may be used to show proficiency when necessary though it is assumed that most students will submit work from the freshman, sophomore and junior years.  
  • Table 1 lists the CCA opportunities available through the 11th grade year.
