Thank you so much. I will look into that.. i know the only thing that she hasn't been able to do is the math requirement -she has met all others and you're right - they work their butts off and deserve that diploma.

I'm in Massachusetts. We have a standardized test (MCAS) which must be passed in order to get a diploma. My niece recently graduated and did not receive her diploma as her test scores were not good. She had taken the test 4 times without success. The state does have an appeal process. It is lengthy and can cost families a lot as far as attorney fees. If you can get an alternative portfolio established, I believe that may give your child a means of getting her diploma. Check with your state and work with the guidance team at the school. Good luck! It's a right every high school graduate should receive - regardless of ability. If they put in the time and work up to their ability, they deserve a diploma.
