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 and Composition
- Biology
- U.S. History
- Coordinate Algebra /Algebra I
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.)
We will administer the EOC for the 2023 Fall Semester as indicated below:
AUGUST 2023 |
Monday August 21 | Tuesday August 22 | Wednesday August 23 | Thursday August 24 | Friday August 25 |
Coordinate Algebra/Algebra I | Biology | US History | American Literature (Part I) | American Literature (Parts II/III) |
SEPTEMBER 2023 |
Monday September 11 | Tuesday September 12 | Wednesday September 13 | Thursday September 14 | Friday September 15 |
Coordinate Algebra/Algebra I | Biology | US History | American Literature (Part I) | American Literature (Parts II/III) |
OCTOBER 2023 |
Monday October 16 | Tuesday October 17 | Wednesday October 18 | Thursday October 19 | Friday October 20 |
Coordinate Algebra/Algebra I | Biology | US History | American Literature (Part I) | American Literature (Parts II/III) |

Monday November 6 | Tuesday November 7 | Wednesday November 8 | Thursday November 9 | Friday November 10 |
Coordinate Algebra/Algebra I | Independent Learning Day/PD Day | Biology US History | American Literature (Part I) | American Literature (Parts II/III) |
It is expected that every student enrolled in the four (4) courses identified above will 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,
