NEW!! FAST & BEST 

By creating the new Florida Assessment of Student Thinking

(F.A.S.T.) plan, Florida is becoming the first state in the nation to fully implement progress monitoring instead of end-of-year standardized testing, and will fully eliminate Common Core. The computer-based assessments aligned with the Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking  (B.E.S.T.) include the Writing Assessment (grades 4-10), Algebra 1 and Geometry end-of-course assessments, and the FAST progress monitoring assessments in Reading (VPK through grade 10) and Mathematics (VPK through grade 8). LINK

 
FLDOE Florida Standards Assessments

Governor DeSantis announced that the state will eliminate the common-core based, end-of-year Florida Statewide Assessment and create the new Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (F.A.S.T.). We will provide retake opportunities as needed for those needing to meet graduation assessment requirements. LINK
