DELAYED SCORES LETTER FOR HIGH SCHOOLS – ALL PARENTS

DELAYED SCORES LETTER FOR HIGH SCHOOLS – ALL PARENTS

December 2024

Dear High School families:

Guilford County Schools wants to make sure all of our students are receiving the best education possible. To evaluate this, most students take exams at the end of each semester.

All high school students enrolled in Math 1, Math 3, English II and Biology during the Fall Block will take the traditional End-of-Course (EOC) tests.

All districts in North Carolina rely on the state to score some EOC exams. While scoring multiple-choice tests can be done quickly, some tests include written answers. Tests with these items must be sent to the state for scoring.

English II North Carolina EOC Exams have written answers that take longer to score, and we will not receive test data from the state for this course for 7 - 8 days after tests are submitted.

Since the scores might not be available until after we send report cards home, students might receive an “Incomplete” in this course. As soon as we receive the scores and conversions from the state, we will immediately calculate final grades and send out a second report card. This delay is not unique to GCS; every student in North Carolina who is taking these courses is impacted.

We appreciate your understanding as we work with the state to get these scores as soon as we can.

Please call your child’s high school if you have any questions and/or concerns.
