Redesigned score report for Florida Standards Assessments unveiled

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The Florida Department of Education has redesigned score reports for the Florida Standards Assessments, statewide science assessments and statewide end-of-course assessments.

The new reports will be distributed through district offices in the spring.

The score reports for all statewide standardized assessments are distributed to parents and students through their school districts, according to officials.

The new design aims to make the score reports easier to understand and more meaningful, officials said.

The redesigned report features:

• Color-coded levels (1-5), so it is apparent which level the student achieved at first glance.
• Clear explanation of what each level means, including the difference between "satisfactory" and "proficient," with additional detail about the level that the student achieved.
• Comparison of the student's performance to other students in their school, district and the state.
• References to specific DOE websites that offer resources parents and students can use to increase preparation for the next grade/course.

“Our goal is to ensure Floridians have access to an education system that prepares all students for future success. The standardized statewide assessments and the corresponding score reports are critical to achieving that goal because they provide students, parents and educators insight into what students have learned. By knowing how well students grasped the information they are expected to know in each grade level, these individuals can work together to make adjustments that will lead to greater success in the future,” Education Commissioner Pam Stewart said.
