This graph shows three data columns for the “% passed” scoring students of the Georgia High School Graduation Test (GHSGT) for each year. The first column is the score for Cass High School, the second is the district average, and the third is the state average. Each bar represents the total percentage of students who passed, but the bar is also divided to represent the students who scored at a level designated as "pass plus".

The Georgia High School Graduation Tests (GHSGT) assess only a sample of the knowledge and skills that educators agree comprise a complete high school education. Georgia students have opportunities to learn – and are expected to master – much more than the tests address. The state adopted curriculum is the source of the knowledge and skills assessed on the graduation tests.
Students take the GHSGT for the first time in the spring of the 11th grade. Schools use the results to identify students who need additional instruction in the academic content determined by Georgia educators as necessary for a high school diploma. Students who do not succeed on their first attempt have four additional opportunities to meet the standards prior to completing 12th grade.
Tests based solely on the Georgia Performance standards (GPS) were administered in English Language Arts and Science to grade 11 first time test takers in the Spring 2008 Administration. New cut scores, new scale scores, and new performance descriptions were established for these tests. Comparisons cannot be drawn between 2008 ELA and Science GPS scores and older QCC scores.
Grade 11 first time test takers also took a Social Studies test dually aligned to the GPS and the Quality Core Curriculum (QCC) and a Math test based on the older QCC. Both Social Studies and Math were scored and equated to the QCC score scale. These tests can be compared to tests from previous years.
