Due to limited availability of SAT, AP, CE, ASVAB and Industry Certificates during the COVID 19 pandemic, 27J will accept 8 Credits in English Language arts and 6 Credits in Math to demonstrate college and career readiness during the 2020-2021 school year.

As part of the new graduation requirements that apply to the classes of 2021 and beyond, students are required to complete demonstrations of college and career readiness in English and Math. Students can demonstrate readiness by achieving scores above a given threshold on various standardized tests.

Additionally, students can also demonstrate readiness by passing a Concurrent Enrollment course or scoring above a given threshold on the tests for Advanced Placement courses. Earning an Industry Certificate also qualifies as demonstrating readiness for both English and Math.
