Score Exclusions

Score Exclusions are managed exclusively by District Admins. These exclusions allow districts to remove individual student test records from accountability calculations when specific, state-approved conditions apply. This ensures that accountability results reflect only valid and eligible student scores.

When Score Exclusions Apply

District Admins may add an exclusion if a student meets one of the following conditions:

• English Learner (EL) Students
  Students in their first three (3) years of EL program participation.

• Retakes of End-of-Course (EOC) Subjects
  Students who are not first-time test takers for an EOC subject.
