The James Logan Courier

By Justyna Torres, Courier Supervising Editor

All over California this week, high school sophomores will be put to the test that can determine whether or not they will be able to graduate — The California High School Exit Examination,

The test, often shortened to CAHSEE, is being administered this week on Tuesday and today.

The CAHSEE tests sophomores on their skills in reading, writing, and math to ensure that they are proficient for their grade level, and, ultimately, graduation.
