Beginning with the Class of 2017, students must successfully complete the Commonwealth's Keystone Exams in Algebra 1, Biology, and Literature in order to graduate. The exams are administered at the end of the respective course. The 11th grade PSSAs have been discontinued effective with the 2013-14 school year. In 2011, Pennsylvania high school students field tested the Algebra 1, Biology and English Lit exams. The statewide results were: Algebra 1 38% on grade level, Biology 35% on grade level and English Lit - 49% on grade level. Individual student, school or district reports were not made public, although they were reported to district officials by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Students identified as having special needs and qualifying for an Individual Educational Program (IEP) may graduate by meeting the requirements of their IEP. Dubois Area Senior High School also offers a virtual academy. It combines technology with online courses that are available to District students to take during academic tutoring time, at the end of the school day, or at home. Students can make up courses they have failed through credit recovery. Additionally, students can schedule required courses to fulfill graduation requirements. The curriculum for these courses is aligned to courses offered at the DuBois Area High School through the use of PLATO Learning Systems. This program is provided as an alternative to local students enrolling in one of the 16 public cyber charter schools which are open to all Pennsylvania grade 1-12 students, at no cost to the family. Dubois Area Senior High School offers a variety of Advance Placement courses where students have the potential to earn college credits through a score of 3 or better on the end of course exams administered by the College Board. DuBois Area School District reimburses the student for the cost of the exam when they earn a 3 or better on the AP exam.
