School report card, students who receive a nonstandard high school diploma upon graduation not considered in assigning grade

Summary

The bill changes Alabama’s school grading system so that students who graduate with a non‑standard high school diploma—those on alternative education pathways—are not counted in the accountability metrics used to assign A‑F grades to schools and districts. This exclusion begins with the 2026‑2027 school year. By omitting these students, the measure seeks to prevent their outcomes from lowering a school’s overall grade.
