County Students Surpass
Statewide Peers in 2007 Exit Exam

SAN JOSE, CA – Results released on Thursday for Santa Clara County 10th graders who took the California High School Exit Exam in 2006 show the continuation of well-established trends:

County students on average outperform their counterparts statewide, and the percentage of 10th-graders passing either segment of the test hovers at just over 80 percent.

In the English/Language Arts segment of the test, a higher percentage of 10th grade SCC students (82%) passed the CAHSEE than did students statewide (77%).

Likewise, in Mathematics, a higher percentage of 10th grade SCC students (84%) passed the CAHSEE than students statewide (76%).

The SCCOE has analyzed the data and their findings are synopsized on the SCCOE Web site, at www.sccoe.org.
