End-Of-Course Exams (EOC)

End-of-course exams are required by the state and given to students when they successfully complete selected courses. Courses that are assessed include: English II, Algebra I, Geometry (student choice), Algebra II, Biology, and American Government.

These assessments are used to measure what students know and are able to do in relation to skills identified by the Missouri Learning Standards and are included in a student’s final grade for the course. Results are also used to determine student performance trends over time and help to make conclusions regarding the effectiveness of the locally developed district curriculum.

These results are reflected in building and district Annual Performance Reports produced by Missouri’s Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
