Bachiller mención ciencias [high school certificate, specialising in the Sciences]
Explanation:
or "secondary school" instead of "high school", in the case of the UK.
It is very important to keep the original Spanish term, as educational systems differ from one country to the next, and this is the official title in Venezuela.
The English part is merely an explanation that this is a certificate awarded upon completion of secondary school education in the sciences (or scientific stream).

As per gsloane's reminder, it would be a "high school diploma" in the US or Canada.
