Language-credit testing expands from 28 to 130 languages
What happened
LCPS expanded free language-credit testing for grades 9–12 from 28 to 130 languages and added a spring testing window. Students may earn one to three credits based on skill. Testing is limited to once a school year and twice during high school.
Why it matters to families
More students can earn credit for languages they already know. The change includes students at Rock Ridge.
The evidence
Staff described the expanded testing service and completed fall and spring testing; spring results were still pending.
