Overall, DOE's results show that 75 percent of LAUSD 10th grade students passed both the Math and English portion of the test.

All public high school students are required to first take the exam during their sophomore year. If they don’t pass, there are two more chances during junior year and then three to five more opportunities for seniors.

Charter School Results

Students at two local charter high schools, and Los Angeles International Charter High School (LAICHS) in Hermon, were also required to take the test.

At Academica Avance, 85 percent of 10th graders passed the Math Portion of the test, while 95 percent passed in English-Language Arts.

LAICHS students performed well on the English-Language Arts portion of the exam, with 95 percent earning passing scores. Their results on the math portion were more in line with those of LAUSD students, with 79 percent of students passing.
