State Mandated Testing
Achieving high school graduation at Pinnacle Charter Schools involves more than just passing your classes. Full-time students are also required to participate in state-mandated standardized testing. To support our students, Pinnacle Charter Schools provides skill development and preparation activities to ensure success in these assessments. Don’t risk your graduation—let our experienced staff help you with your test preparation needs.
Civics Test Requirement
In 2015, the Arizona legislature enacted the American Civics Act (House Bill 2064), which mandates that students must pass a civics test based on the United States Immigration and Naturalization civics questions to graduate from high school or obtain a high school equivalency certificate.
- Graduation Class of 2017 and Beyond: Students are required to score at least 60% on the civics test.
- Graduation Classes of 2022 to 2025: The passing rate is set at 60/100.
- Graduation Class of 2026 and Beyond: New legislation requires students to achieve a passing score of 70/100.
To assist students, the Arizona Department of Education, in collaboration with the Maricopa County Education Service Agency and Arizona educators, has developed a predominantly multiple-choice version of the test. For more information, please refer to the Civics Test Administration Manual.
