Delaware
Profile of State High School Exit Exam Policies
State exit exam policy
In the 2009-10 school year, Delaware required students to participate in the Delaware Student Testing Program (DSTP) to receive a high school diploma, although students did not have to pass these exams to receive a diploma. The DSTP was suspended after 2010 due to the transition to the new Delaware Comprehensive Assessment System (DCAS).
