EOC Mid-Month Assessment

The Georgia Board of Education requires all students who are enrolled for credit in any of the courses listed below to take the Georgia End of Course (EOC) upon course completion. The following four courses in Georgia have EOCs:

  • Literature & Composition II
  • Biology
  • U.S. History
  • Algebra: Concepts and Connections 

According to The Georgia Board of Education, the End-of-Course serves as the final exam for these courses listed above. The Board established a grade of 70 as the “passing score” for the End-of-Course Test and for all courses. For a student to receive credit for an End-of-Course, the average of the coursework and the EOC score must equal or exceed 70.

 

(See Georgia SBOE rule 160-4-2-.13.)

 

The DCSD Fall 2026 administration schedule for Mid-Months, Retest, and Test Out is below. Please note, this schedule does not apply to students currently enrolled in the classes designated above. Students currently enrolled in the designated classes will test during the main administration scheduled for December 2026.

 
 

It is expected that every student enrolled in the four (4) courses identified above will take the End-of-Course (EOC). Students who fail to take the End-of-Course (as required) during this testing window must do so by the end of the next subsequent grading period.

Upcoming Changes in Attendance on the Horizon

 


As we prepare for another successful school year, we want to make you aware of several important attendance and student accountability updates that will be implemented this semester. 

 

Beginning September 8, 2026, Dunwoody High School will officially begin using our new School Conductor System to improve student check-in, check-out, attendance tracking, and campus safety. 

 

What Families Should Know 

Student Check-In 

 

• Students arriving after the tardy bell must report to the Attendance Office before going to class. 

• Students will use the School Conductor kiosk to check in and receive an official pass. 

• Students should not report directly to class after arriving late. 

• Parents are not required to walk students into the building. A written note may be submitted to the Attendance Office. 

 

Student Check-Out 

 

• QR Code check-out has been discontinued. 

• Parents/guardians must come into the Attendance Office with identification to check students out. 

• Students who are 18 years old may check themselves out. 

• Parent email requests must be received by 8:00 a.m. on the day of the requested checkout. 

 

Senior Exam Exemptions 

 

Beginning this school year, attendance will be part of senior exam exemption eligibility. Additional information will be shared over the coming weeks. Thank you for partnering with us as we strengthen our systems to better serve our students. Together, we will continue building a culture of accountability and excellence.

Dunwoody Strong: Our Students Need Us Now

CLICK HERE to Donate Today!

 

On August 10, 2026, the City of Dunwoody approved legislation allowing vape shops to operate near areas where kids are present, a change that heightens the urgency around youth‑targeted vaping. News outlets have already highlighted Dunwoody Strong’s leadership in addressing these risks (see www.dunwoodystrong.org).

 

Dunwoody Strong, a parent volunteer, 501(c)(3) organization, is committed to promoting student wellness and preventing substance misuse through education, community engagement, and school‑based programming.

 

This year’s initiatives include student Vaping Awareness & Prevention, staff training on drug‑abuse detection, suicide‑awareness programming, gambling‑addiction education, and life‑skills and distracted‑driving training.

 

With vape shops now permitted closer to where students spend their time, prevention and education cannot wait.

 

Support the Dunwoody Strong programs that keep Dunwoody High School students and community safe.
