Datos Clave

Plano ISD (PISD) organizes credit-by-exam paths by grade band via its Assessment, Research and Program Evaluation office: Grades 1-5, Grades 6-8, and Grades 9-12.
Grades 1-5 Acceleration: student must score 80% on each of Science, Social Studies, Math, and Language Arts to qualify for grade-level advancement.
Grades 9-12 Credit By Exam for Advancement: credit for a course not yet taken OR a course previously attempted but not passed.
Maximum 2 attempts per grade/subject — one attempt per testing window.
Registration accepted year-round but must meet the deadline for each specific testing session; all applications go through the campus counselor.
Grade-level placement to the new grade happens only at the start of a school year — even a passed mid-year acceleration test doesn't move a student mid-year.
PISD's 3-tier HS structure: grades 9-10 at 'high schools' (Williams, Vines, McMillen, Jasper, Shepton, Clark), grades 11-12 at 'Senior High Schools' (Plano East, Plano, Plano West).

Preguntas Frecuentes

What is the passing score for a Plano ISD Grade 1-5 acceleration test?

80% on each of Science, Social Studies, Math, and Language Arts. All four subjects must meet the 80% bar for the student to qualify for grade-level advancement per PISD's Grades 1-5 Credit for Acceleration / Advancement program.

How many times can my Plano ISD student attempt a CBE for the same subject?

Maximum 2 attempts total — one attempt per testing window for the same grade/subject.

If my child passes an acceleration test mid-year, do they move up grades mid-year at PISD?

No. Placement to a new grade level happens only at the start of the following school year, regardless of when the acceleration test is passed. Plan around that timing.

What does 'Credit By Exam for Advancement' mean at PISD grades 9-12?

It covers two scenarios: (1) earning credit for a course the student has NOT yet taken (acceleration), or (2) earning credit for a course the student previously attempted but did not pass. Both are handled through the PISD Assessment office.

How do I register my Plano ISD student for a CBE?

All applications go through the campus counselor. Registration requests may be accepted at any time during the year but must meet the application deadline established for the specific testing session. Contact the counselor first to identify which session applies.

What does PISD's 3-tier HS structure mean for acceleration planning?

PISD splits high school across two campuses: grades 9-10 at 'High Schools' (Williams, Vines, McMillen, Jasper, Shepton, Clark), and grades 11-12 at 'Senior High Schools' (Plano East, Plano, Plano West). A student who accelerates Algebra 1 before 9th grade often enters their 9-10th HS at Geometry, hitting Pre-Calc or AP Calc by the time they transfer to their Senior HS.
