How are FCAT scores used to ensure every student is successful in school?
FCAT scores are used to ensure students are learning. It identifies struggling and high achieving students so teachers can tailor an education plan and coursework to ensure each student succeeds. To ensure students can read independently before entering the fourth grade, students who don’t demonstrate reading skills and comprehension on the 3rd grade FCAT may be retained. To earn a high school diploma, students must earn a passing score in reading and math on the 10th grade FCAT.
