Graduation Readiness

All students are required to earn 24.0 credits in order to graduate with their high school diploma.

Northshore students earn their 24.0 credits for graduation from 10 independent subject areas, as the chart below illustrates. Each subject area requiring a different credit amount.

1. WA State History
2. High School & Beyond Plan
3. 2 State-Level Assessments* (Smarter Balance)
   • SBA ELA = 2548
   • SBA Math = 2595

*State-Level Assessments may also be met by completing a Graduation Pathway that aligns with the student's High School & Beyond Plan.*

A couple years ago, Washington State expanded how students could develop their course plans to demonstrate their preparedness for life beyond high school.

Graduation Pathways Via OSPI

At Inglemoor, we offer five CTE Pathways that students can build into their coursework over their four years.

The High School and Beyond Plan is a graduation requirement for every student. It's a process for students, parents, and teachers to guide students through high school and think about their future. Plans are personalized and designed to help students set, visualize, and work to achieve goals. A High School and Beyond Plan is one of the three components, along with Credit and Subject Area Requirements, and Graduation Pathway Options, that Washington students must complete to achieve a high school diploma.
