Main article: High school graduation examination in the United States

According to a 2006 study by the Center on Education Policy, two-thirds of the 15 million public high school students in the United States of America were required to pass a high school graduation examination to get a diploma of completion of studies. These are usually criterion-referenced tests which were implemented as part of a comprehensive standards-based education reform program which sets into place new standards intended to increase the learning of all students.

School to work transitionEdit

For those people leaving high school there is a sometimes difficult transition to be overcome as they move from school into work.
