Re: Graduation Question
Thanks!
I guess a regents diploma doesnt mean anything anymore huh?? I remember back in HS that was something everyone wanted to get....it was better to get into college.

Re: Graduation Question
My brother works at St. Anthony's and their students definitely do take the regents. I thought all NYS students had to sit for the regents? Anyway, graduation was this past Saturday. I'm not sure why they do it so early, but I think most seniors have already taken all of their regents exams in years prior.

Re: Graduation Question
st. anthony's and the most other catholic high schools beside chaminade take regents - but seniors only have to take at most one regents and that is usually physics -if they need to take the regents then they walk wuith there class and get there diploma later on if the regents is necessary for the regents diploma

Re: Graduation Question
Every student in NYS has to take Regents exams. Usually seniors don't have any regents with the exception of physics but a lot of time seniors take AP science course or any AP courses and those exams are given in May.

Re: Graduation Question
now thats weird because i interviewed at a few catholic schools and i was told they don't take the state exams. these were middle schools, but i assumed that they meant they don't take the regents also.

Re: Graduation Question
Most private schools do not take the state assessments (grades 3-8) as they do not require funding from the state.
I would think they all take Regents exams, otherwise how are these students getting into college?

Yeah, I remember hearing that Chaminade students didn't take regents. I wonder why?

I think they feel that their testing is more rigorous or something like that. My mom is in the Catholic HS system and she told me that

Re: Graduation Question
im not sure if they take regents or not, but when I was a senior I had already taken all my regents classes, so thats why the can graduate early probably.

That is exactly right. I went to St. Anthony's and my Husband use to teach there. all the Seniors have already taken their finals. Regents were taken in prior years unless they are taking a regents course in their Senior year. At that point the regents in not calculated into their final grade.
