Ohio Graduation Tests

In March, 10th graders take the Ohio Graduation Tests (OGT) for graduation in five test areas: reading, writing, mathematics, science and social studies. Students must pass all five areas in order to be eligible to receive a diploma from Fairfield Christian Academy. There will be multiple opportunities for students to pass all five assessments that make up the new graduation tests. The tests include multiple choice and constructed response questions (short answer and extended response). Alternate assessments are available for students with significant disabilities.

Students may graduate and receive a diploma without passing all five tests of the OGT if they meet the following requirements:

  • Pass four of the five tests and have missed passing the fifth test by no more than 10 points.

  • Maintain a 97 percent attendance rate through all four years of high school.

  • Must not have had an expulsion in high school.

  • Have a grade point average of at least 2.5 out of 4.0 in the courses of the subject area missed and have completed the curriculum requirement in the subject area missed.

  • Have participated in any intervention programs offered by the school.

  • Must have had a 97 percent attendance rate in any program offered outside the normal school day.

  • Obtain letters of recommendation from each teacher in the subject area not yet passed.

If you have questions about the new Ohio Graduation Tests, access "Resources for Ohio Graduation Tests" on the Ohio Department of Education website.
