Performance Assessment
To graduate, a Coventry High School student must score a 3 or higher on the CAPT. Students not meeting this standard during their sophomore year are required to retake the CAPT during their junior year. If a student achieves goal on one or more of the CAPT components, but not all of them, the student needs to
retake only those components on which he or she did not reach district goal.
Students who retake the CAPT and still do not score 3 or higher for the second time will receive additional academic support and take an alternate assessments that cover the portions of the CAPT not meeting performance goals.
