Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s), 

The Georgia Board of Education requires all students who are enrolled for credit in any of the courses listed below to take the Georgia End of Course (EOC) upon course completion.  The following four courses in Georgia have EOCs: 

• American Literature 
• Biology 
• U.S. History 
• Algebra I: Concepts and Connections 

According to The Georgia Board of Education, the End-of-Course serves as the final exam for these courses listed above.  The Board established a grade of 70 as the “passing score” for the End-of-Course Test and for all courses.  For a student to receive credit for an End-of-Course, the average of the coursework and the EOC score must equal or exceed 70.  (See Georgia SBOE rule 160-4-2-.13.)  

DCSD will administer the Fall 2024 Mid-Month End-of-Course Assessment for the current semester as indicated below. Specifically, DeKalb School of the Arts will administer the Fall 2024 Mid-Month End-of-Course Assessment on September 16- 20, 2024! 

It is the expectation that every student enrolled in the four (4) courses identified above take the End-of-Course (EOC). Students who fail to take the End-of-Course (as required) during this testing window must do so by the end of the next subsequent grading period. 

Respectfully, 

Ms. Patti Lemelle

Principal
