Students must earn a
minimum of twenty-three and one-half units in order to graduate from
Bloomington High School. Class of 2006-2008 : Three and one-half units must be earned in
language arts (one unit in ninth grade, one unit in tenth grade, one unit in
eleventh grade, and one-half unit senior elective); one unit in physical
science; one unit in biological science; two units in mathematics, one of
which may be related to computer technology; two and a half units in social
studies (one unit in World History, one unit in American History, and
one-half unit in American Government); four units in physical education (one
unit in ninth grade, one unit in tenth grade, one unit in eleventh grade,
and one unit in twelfth grade); and one unit in music, art, foreign
language, applied technology, or vocational education. Class of
2009 & Beyond: Four units must be earned in language arts (one in ninth
grade, one unit in tenth grade, one unit in eleventh grade, and one unit in
twelfth grade) three units in science including at least one physical
science and at least one biological science; three units in math; three
units in social studies (one unit in World History, one unit in American
History, and one-half unit in American Government); four units in physical
education (one unit in ninth grade, one unit in tenth grade, one unit in
eleventh grade, and one unit in twelfth grade); and one unit in music, art,
foreign language, applied technology, or vocational education.
The student must
also satisfy consumer education and other State of Illinois requirements.
All juniors must take the Prairie State Achievement Exam (PSAE). This test
is a combination of ACT, Workkeys, and state developed tests.
PSAE scores are recorded on students’ transcripts that will
be reviewed by colleges and employers.
Note: The consumer
education requirement may be met by passing a state proficiency test.
Alternatively, the student may pass a half-unit course in addition to the
requirements in social science and the fine and practical arts. The
approved courses for this purpose are resource management, economics, first
semester of Intro to Business, or Interrelated Cooperative Education, and
WECEP. This course would count towards the twenty-three and a half units
required for graduation.
