About the tests

  • In 2006-2007 Maryland used the Maryland High School Assessments (HSA) to test students in English 2, algebra, biology and government upon completion of each course.
  • The HSA is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Maryland.
  • Beginning with the class of 2009, students are required to pass the tests in order to graduate. Students graduating before 2009 must take the HSA, but are not required to earn a particular passing score.
  • The goal is for all students to pass the tests.
