In Denver Public Schools, the ACCUPLACER assessment serves a dual purpose, as a passing score gives students the opportunity to both demonstrate competency for graduation and enroll in concurrent enrollment courses. ACCUPLACER data specifically supports strategic placement into college-level courses for all students on high school and college campuses and also serves as one measure of progress monitoring toward high school graduation requirements for select cohorts of students.
