Center on Education Policy
This paper provides information about Alaska High School Graduation Qualifying Exam (HSGQE), a comprehensive standards-based exam. Its purpose is to meet a state mandate. A bill to remove the HSGQE as a graduation requirement by July 1, 2011 was presented to the state legislature as SB 109. However, it did not pass both houses of the legislature. The HSGQE is still a graduation requirement. [For the main report, "State High School Tests: Exit Exams and Other Assessments" see ED514155.]
