FSA/EOC PARTICIPATION FOR HOME SCHOOL STUDENTS:

Your student may take either the Florida Standards Assessment (FSA) and/or End of Course (EOC).  These are tests that all Florida public school students are required to take.  Though these are not required tests for home school students, they do meet the requirements for the annual home school evaluation.  Please keep in mind that participation in these assessments are your choice.  

Both the FSA and EOC exams will be administered over several days in February, March, April and May. 

**In order to receive a score for the FSA Reading, the student must also take the FSA Writing.**

If you wish to have your home school student(s) participate in either the FSA or EOC testing, please contact Debi Howell at 767-4122, no later than February 18, 2022.   

Home Education Program

Specifically, this office maintains records, sends courtesy reminders of evaluations due, and notifies parents of opportunities for state standardized testing.
