State Testing Requirements

Students must meet minimum testing requirements established by the New York State Education Department in order to graduate. Students must take Regents (i.e., State) exams in five areas: English, U.S. History, Global History, Math, and Science. Acceptable minimum scores vary and are based on the year in which a student enters 9th grade. Students with TESTING MODIFICATIONS may also take the RCT’s (Regents Competency Tests, which are minimum competency tests). TRANSFER STUDENTS: Students who transfer to O’Neill for their senior year may be exempted from the testing requirement in Global Studies and Science. Students who transfer to O’Neill as juniors may be exempted from the testing requirement in Global Studies.
