Standardized Assessments
Students complete the FAST (Florida Assessment for Student Thinking) Assessment three times a year for Reading and Math. This assessment measures students’ achievement of Florida’s B.E.S.T. standards, which were developed and implemented to ensure that all students graduate from high school ready for success in college, career, and life. The assessment supports instruction and student learning, and test results help Florida’s educational leadership and stakeholders determine whether the goals of the education system are being met.
Students and families can learn about further information and resources for the FAST Assessment through the following link:
