Civics Information for DVUSD
The Civics test is an assessment that became a high school graduation requirement by our state legislature beginning in the 2016-2017 school year.
The 好色导航Assessment work team and District Administration determined that in 8th grade, all students will be given the Civics Test in School City. In 11th & 12th grade, students who must pass for graduation will be tested once in 11th grade and as many times as needed until passing in 12th grade.
8th Grade Goal: Tests are available for the teacher to assign monthly. Every 8th-grade student will be tested during the year (unless they take an alternative state test) and get 90% of your school to pass.
High School Goal: Tests are available for the teacher to assign monthly. We test all 11th-grade students once and 12th grade as often as needed.
