High School Graduation Requirement Calculator
The High School Graduation Requirement Calculator helps students track their progress toward meeting the requirements for graduation. It ensures that students fulfill all academic credit, subject-specific, and other criteria mandated by their school or district before earning their high school diploma.
Key Formula
The percentage of progress in a subject area is calculated as:
\( \text{Progress Percentage} = \frac{\text{Credits Earned}}{\text{Credits Required}} \times 100 \)
Example Calculation: Graduation Progress
Scenario: A school requires the following credits for graduation:
| Subject | Required Credits | Credits Earned |
|---|---|---|
| English | 4 | 3.5 |
| Math | 3 | 2.5 |
| Science | 3 | 3.0 |
| Social Studies | 3 | 2.0 |
| Electives | 6 | 4.5 |
Step 1: Calculate progress for each subject:
- English: \( \frac{3.5}{4} \times 100 = 87.5\% \)
- Math: \( \frac{2.5}{3} \times 100 = 83.3\% \)
- Science: \( \frac{3.0}{3} \times 100 = 100\% \)
- Social Studies: \( \frac{2.0}{3} \times 100 = 66.7\% \)
- Electives: \( \frac{4.5}{6} \times 100 = 75\% \)
Step 2: Overall Progress:
Total credits required = 19
Total credits earned = 15.5
Overall Progress = \( \frac{15.5}{19} \times 100 = 81.6\% \)
