ASSESSMENTS

ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE, AND HIGH SCHOOL ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
Each student’s progression from one grade to another is determined, in part, upon proficiency
in English Language Arts (ELA), mathematics, social studies and/or science. Information in the
Student Progression Plan facilitates recognizing such proficiency. In accordance with Florida
Statute § 1008.25(1), each student and his/her parent will be informed of the student’s
progress.

Florida Standards Assessments (FSA)/Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS)
Assessments

In accordance with Florida Statute § 1008.22(3)&(6) and State Board of Education Rule 6A-
rd
1.09422, all eligible students in 3 grade and above must participate in all regular District and
statewide assessments for accountability purposes, except as prescribed by the Commissioner
of Education. The Florida Standards Assessment (FSA) is the current statewide assessment
designed to measure student achievement of the Florida Standards in ELA (Grades 3-10),
Writing (Grades 4-10), and Mathematics (Grades 3-8). The Statewide Science Assessment
measures student achievement of the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) in
Science (Grades 5 and 8).

End-of-Course (EOC) Assessments

The Florida Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) EOC Assessments and the
Florida Standards (FS) EOC Assessments are designed to measure student achievement of the
NGSSS and the FS for specific courses that include Algebra 1, Geometry, Biology 1, Civics, and
U.S. History, as outlined in the course descriptions. Any students enrolled in any of the courses
that require an EOC Assessment shall participate in the EOC Assessment administration that is
specific to that course. Students who do not take the required EOC Assessment will receive an
“I” in the course. After the student makes-up the EOC, the final grade will be recalculated.

The Florida Standards Alternate Assessment (FSAA) for Students with Significant Cognitive
Disabilities

The FSAA provides options to those students for whom participation in the FSA is not
appropriate, even with accommodations, as identified in the student’s Individualized
Education Plan (IEP). It is expected that only students with the most significant cognitive
disabilities who are eligible under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) will
participate in the FSAA.
