Assessments

The Florida Standards Assessments (FSA) measure student achievement of the Florida Standards. Grade-level assessments consist of Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA), which is a Writing test and a Reading test. End-of-Course (EOC) assessments measure mastery of the standards required for any given EOC subject course.

What is the End-of-Course Assessment?

The Education Code in the Florida Statutes mandates that public school students take the statewide, standardized End-of-Course (EOC) assessment that correlates with the EOC course in which they are enrolled.

The state determines the windows when assessments can be administered. Districts determine the exact dates for each test administration. Some school then determine the when staff and locations are available to offer testing to students.

Under current Florida Statute (s. 1008.22, F.S.), statewide ELA and Mathematics assessments, including Algebra 1 and Geometry, aligned to Florida’s Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Standards will be
administered for the first time in winter 2022.
