SHOW US WHAT YOU KNOW!

Please visit Spring Valley’s Semester 1 Exam Information web page for complete details related to exams and EOC’s.

Students currently enrolled in a End-of-Course (EOC) class (Algebra 1- semester block classes only (including Intermediate Algebra), Biology 1, English 2- semester block classes only, and U.S. History and Constitution) will participate in the state mandated EOC exam at the conclusion of the semester.  This year the EOC exams will count 20% of the final semester grade only if the exam score helps to improve the students’ overall grade. If the EOC exam does not improve a student’s grade then it will not be included in the calculation of the final grade.  


Spring Valley will be hosting EOC preparation events, more information about those events will be sent out in January. For more information about EOCs and Semester 1 exams, please visit our Semester 1 Exam Information website. We encourage all of our students Show Us What You Know on your EOC exams!

Any EOC exam questions can be directed to Assistant Principal Paul Dobyns at pdobyns@richland2.org.

To assist with explanation of semester 1 exams and EOCs, we have made informational videos for our families click below to watch. SVHS Semester 1 Exam Information SVHS Semester 1 EOC Exam Information
