About the Tests

• In 2009-2010 Nevada used the High School Proficiency Examination (HSPE) to assess high school students in reading, writing, math and science.
• The combined results for the first administration in grade 10 and the second administration in grade 11 are displayed on GreatSchools profiles.
• The HSPE is a high school graduation requirement.
• The HSPE is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Nevada.
• The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
