Class of 2011: Diplomas still to be decided
New Jersey’s high school exit exam has long been the subject of debate and disagreement.
Through all of it, there are now three ways to graduate from a public high school. Pass the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA). Pass the Alternative High School Assessment (AHSA), the much-maligned back-up test. Or, failing the first two, the newest and last option is to win on appeal to Trenton. (Mooney, NJ Spotlight)
