PROVIDENCE, R.I.—Rhode Island's top education officials are considering a two-tiered high school graduation system that would reward the state's top students with a special diploma from the state Board of Regents for Elementary and Secondary Education.

Meanwhile, most students would continue to receive a diploma from their local school system.

The system was discussed at Monday's meeting.
