Do students with disabilities have to pass Algebra I in order to earn a high school diploma?
Yes, students with disabilities have to meet all state and local graduation requirements. Algebra I is a state graduation requirement. Your local school district may require additional math courses. Some students with disabilities, due to the specific nature of their disability, may request a waiver of the Algebra I graduation requirement if, after all support services have been provided, the student cannot pass the course. For additional information regarding the Algebra waiver process, please visit the Algebra I Graduation Requirements.
