Requisito de puntuación de la prueba
Si el estudiante...
No tiene crédito previo de la escuela secundaria en español, entonces los estudiantes deben demostrar dominio del 80% o más en el curso por el que desean aceptar crédito.
Reprobó un crédito de español de la escuela secundaria entonces los estudiantes deben demostrar dominio del 70% o más en el curso que previamente no lograron obtener crédito.
Ha obtenido anteriormente crédito en español de escuela secundaria, entonces un crédito por puntuación de examen no puede ser utilizado para el curso que ya ha sido otorgado. Es decir, una vez que un estudiante ha obtenido crédito por un curso y una calificación aprobatoria ha sido registrada, la calificación en cualquier crédito por examen no puede ser utilizada para reemplazar la calificación registrada.

Denton ISD students who have participated in the dual language program or who are native or heritage Spanish speakers have the opportunity to earn high school Spanish credits by taking a credit by exam for acceleration. Students must take the Spanish exam after the completion of 8th grade in order for the credits to count towards high school unweighted GPA. Denton ISD currently partners with Avant Stamp which is an adaptive assessment. This means students have the opportunity to earn credits in Spanish I, II, III, and IV by demonstrating proficiency in the Spanish language in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. This will allow students to be placed in the appropriate high school Spanish course. More information on high school credits via dual language and Spanish for Spanish Speakers program can be found at Denton ISD Spanish Acceleration Program Information

Beginning with the 2024-2025 senior cohort (freshmen in 2021-2022), CBE score(s) earned for credit recovery are not included in Ranking GPA calculations.
Scores not meeting the passing standard are not documented on the transcript or permanent record.
