It is the goal of Cazenovia High School that all students will graduate with a Regents or Regents Diploma Advanced Designation.  


Students with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) who score between a 55% - 64% on any of the five required Regents exams are eligible for the safety net as established by the New York Board of Regents.  If a student scores between a 55% - 64% on a Regents examination, this will enable the student with an IEP to obtain a local diploma.   A local diploma is not an option for any student who does not have an IEP.
