About Maryland High School Assessments:

The High School Assessments, or HSAs, are four exams—one each in algebra/data analysis, biology, government, and English—that all students who entered 9th grade in or after 2005 must take and pass in order to graduate. (Students who entered 9th grade in or before 2004 are required only to take the HSAs.)

The HSAs are only one component of Maryland's high school graduation requirements. Students must also earn state-specified credits, fulfill the state’s service-learning and attendance requirements, and complete any additional local school system requirements to receive a Maryland High School Diploma.
