What academic standards should my child be proficient in for high school and the California High School Exit Examination?
• California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) assesses student proficiency in mathematics (primarily standards for grades 6, 7, and 8) and English language arts (standards for grades 9-10) at the present time. In the CAHSEE Teacher’s Guide for each subject there are sample questions and a blueprint of grade-level standards that are tested. • If your child has special needs because of learning and physical disabilities, the CAHSEE is administered with accommodations to these students. • Being successful in high school and beyond requires a broader proficiency of California’s content standards than those covered on the CAHSEE. Middle school students should not only be proficient in math and English-language arts, but the other core academic subjects of science and social science/history as well. The core subjects and rigorous critical thinking related to these disciplines prepare students for the work they will be required to do in high school and for both college and career.
