This Research Brief examines the success of Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS) 12th grade students in meeting missing assessment graduation requirements through the non-reportable (NR) American College Testing ACT and the College Board SAT exams. 1337 students took either one of the exams or both in the spring of 2024, and most students took the exams to meet the reading graduation requirement. Overall, the ACT is more efficient in terms of the rate of meeting assessment graduation requirements via concordance scores. In addition, it is less costly for each potential high school graduate for this group of students.
