Discussion - Graduation Requirements

The Federal government allows each state to set graduation requirements. Therefore, graduation requirements can vary from state to state. This includes the use of Subject Area State Test in high school. In Mississippi, a student cannot graduate with a high school diploma unless they earn the required Carnegie Units and obtain a set score on four state Subject Area Tests. In addition, the federal government holds states accountable for graduation rates by using a four-year cohort system.
