Junior Year October NECAP

Additional Time Beyond Senior Year

Senior Year October NECAP Retest

Waiver and Appeals

NECAP State Assessment Graduation Requirement

Students must score partially proficient (2) or show improvement in Reading and/ or Math

Waivers are intended only for students for whom there is clear evidence that they have reached the required level of proficiency. Students must be proficient in grade 9-10 standards in order to receive a waiver.

Students and families retain the right to appeal overall graduation decisions.

To determine if a student is eligible for a waiver, there must be evidence that the student has:

  • Successfully completed all elements of their local graduation requirements
  • Completed the sequence of state testing requirements
  • Documented evidence of academic content mastery against grade 9-10 standards
  • Demonstrated effort

Students who meet this criteria may be eligible for School Waiver Committee consideration.

To assist in determining which students are eligible for a waiver, there is a waiver eligibility decision tree available on the RIDE website.

An improvement chart on the RIDE website shows the required NECAP scores needed to show “significant” improvement from the first/initial administration of the NECAP test to subsequent administrations in both Reading and Math. If a student shows this level of improvement, they have met the NECAP component of the graduation requirements.

Students have multiple opportunities to meet the state assessment requirement.
