About the Tests

In 2007-2008 Nevada used the High School Proficiency Examination (HSPE) to assess high school students in reading, writing, math and science.
The combined results for the first administration in grade 10 and the second administration in grade 11 are displayed on GreatSchools profiles.
The HSPE is a high school graduation requirement.
The HSPE is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Nevada.
The different student groups are identified by the Nevada Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
