Depending on how they qualify for the program, schools must include the following information with the hardcopy of the application that is due at CAPE in December:

EXEMPLARY HIGH PERFORMING SCHOOLS AND EXEMPLARY ACHIEVEMENT GAP CLOSING SCHOOLS:  Beginning with the 2025 award cycle, schools must submit their assessment data in the pre-registration process. The point of the assessment verification document(s) is to verify the accuracy of the scores the school has reported for the most recently completed school year, so the scores on the online application and the assessment verification document(s) should match. Many schools are disqualified from the program either because they do not submit an assessment verification sheet, or they report the wrong kinds of scores (e.g., school percentiles instead of student percentiles), or the scores in the tables do not match the assessment verification scores. Please contact CAPE if you have questions about this. High schools using SAT and

ACT scores from multiple testing dates (see whatever #21 has become with re-numbering, below) should contact CAPE regarding assessment verification.
