Florida Standards Assessment

Florida has transitioned from the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test? (FCAT) to the Florida Standards Assessment (FSA) to align with new academic standards. The FSA measures student achievement of the Florida Standards, which specify the challenging content Florida students are expected to know and perform.

The cut scores identify the Performance levels 1-5. Proficiency is defined as scoring at Levels 3, 4, or 5. Since 2014, students have been allowed to test above grade level to align with the student's instruction (e.g., 7th grader receiving 8th grade instruction in math would take the Grade 8 FSA math assessment).

Students in grade 10 must achieve an FSA English Language Arts (ELA) scale score in Performance Level 3 or higher to meet the graduation requirement. The student does have the opportunity to retake the test up to five times prior to graduation. Students in grade 3 must achieve an FSA ELA scale score in Performance Level 2 or higher, or show good cause, to be eligible for promotion.

Pasco's percentage of students scoring at levels 3-5 was the same or higher than the state in grades 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

FSA End-of-Course Exams

The FSA End-of-Course (EOC) Assessments are designed to measure student achievement of the Florida Standards for specific courses, as outlined in the course descriptions. These assessments serve the purpose of increasing student achievement and improving college and career readiness. The State transitioned to the Florida Standards Assessment (FSA) EOC for Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II in 2015.

The cut scores identify the Performance Level 1-5. Proficiency is defined as scoring at Levels 3, 4, or 5. Students must pass the FSA Algebra I EOC with a Performance Level 3 or higher to meet the graduation requirement. The student does have the opportunity to retake the test multiple times prior to graduation.
