Massachusetts Competency Determination (CD)

In Massachusetts, earning a high school diploma requires more than just passing classes; students must also receive a Competency Determination. This means our district must verify that each student has mastered the essential skills and knowledge outlined in the state’s curriculum. This mastery is shown through the successful completion of specific coursework and local assessments that meet state academic standards.

The Role of MCAS

While MCAS tests are still administered, they are no longer the sole "pass/fail" barrier to graduation. They now serve as one of several indicators used by districts to verify that a student has met state standards.

To show mastery, a student must successfully complete, in accordance with Bay Path’s graduation policy:

The state standardized assessment or a Skill Plan
Coursework and course assessments
A career portfolio

Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School’s district grading policy and requirements are outlined in the attached document: Competency Determination Requirements
