Algebra II Notification

Senate Bill 232 requires parents/guardians of all enrolled high school students to be notified that Algebra II is not a required credit for graduation and define the ramifications of not earning Algebra II credit. Graduation requirements for the Foundation High School Program + Endorsement (FHSPE) include four math credits, which must include Algebra I and Geometry credits, and two additional math credits. Algebra II is not specified as a graduation requirement; however, students who do not earn Algebra II credit are not eligible for:

Earning the Distinguished Level of Achievement (DLA), which requires completion of an endorsement with Algebra II among the four math credits,
Recognition as an honors or high honors graduate,
Automatic admission to a state public college or university, and
Certain financial aid opportunities, including the TEXAS grant or the Texas Educational Opportunity Grant.

For additional information on graduation requirements, please contact your student’s counselor.
