The Subject Area Testing Program, Second Edition (SATP2) is an assessment administered to students in Biology I and U.S. History and a small population of retesters in Algebra I and English II.
Students who were enrolled in English II during and prior to the 2011-2012 year are also required to pass a writing component in order to meet graduation requirements.
As of the 2014-2015 school year, Algebra I and English II were no longer administered to first-time testers under the SATP2 and are now administered under a different assessment program.
The Biology I assessment is a measure of student achievement based on the 2010 Mississippi Science Frameworks, and the U. S. History assessment is a measure of student achievement based on the 2011 Mississippi Social Studies Framework.
