By: Zirlei Rosales, Posted: May 15, 2017 As we wind down the 2016-2017 school year, students stressfully rush to remember everything they've learned throughout the year before testing began. As of this year, End of Course exams are being administered through the CCSD School District, taking the place of the high school proficiencies. During this time, the graduating classes of 2017 and 2018 are expected to take the EOCs but do not need to pass them. The scores from 2017/2018 students is meant to set the cut score for future years. The class of 2019 is the first class required to receive a passing score on these tests in order to graduate. The class of 2020 and all classes following are required to pass the ELA combined End of Course and Science End of Course assessments along with two math assessments.
For us Eldorado students, testing schedule begins May 11, 2017 and lasts up until May 26, 2017. On these days, all students have two classes per day. Each class was scheduled to test on different dates. As students prepare themselves for the tests, tensions are running high Emily Orellana,10 stated, “I felt that the end of course exams were difficult. To better prepare myself, I paid more attention in class, studied more often and also prepared myself both mentally and physically.” Sophomore Mauricia Robinson stated, “the End of Course exams had me super stressed. I felt like I was not fully prepared weeks before the exams began. I felt better the days of testing because I studied hard in hopes of receiving a passing score.” It's safe to say that the stress was on these past weeks, and that's not the end of it. Best of wishes to everyone receiving their scores of the EOC’s and everyone who is taking that next step in their lives.
