GED Policy for Adult Students

• An adult student who has taken the GED and provided scores to our school must have received a standard score on the GED that puts him/her in the 50^th percentile rank in order to waive any LVCA graduation requirements based on that GED.

• The ES is responsible for collecting and retaining a copy of the test results from the adult student for eventual inclusion in the grad packet. In addition, the ES should create an electronic report card for each subject area passed, noting a PASS grade.

• Although the student might have passed the entire GED, he/she will not be automatically eligible to waive the LVCA requirements for the four growth areas of Reading/writing, Math, Science and History unless he/she has performed in the 50^th percentile rank or better in each subtest.
• Although the student passes each of the four growth areas for reading/writing, math, science, and history, the student must still complete the graudation requirements for life skills, government, and special interest in order to receive a diploma.

• For the reading/writing growth area, students must have an average score of at least the 50^th percentile. This score will be found by taking the percentile rank for the writing test and adding it to the percentile rank for the literature test and dividing the sum by two.

• LVCA will not pay for a student to take the GED. This test is not a part of our school, and we cannot provide it for our students.
