3 FCAT Parent Network Student reports for Grade 3 and Retakes available beginning on May 3. Grades 4 – 10 will be posted two days after districts and schools receive files.

4 SSS Revisions and FCAT Language Arts FCAT Reading and Writing Content Advisory Committees have reviewed draft. Decision on whether a new generation FCAT is needed will be made by early fall.

9 Writing The Writing component of the school grade will remain at 3.5 rather than increasing to 4.0 for determining the percent meeting high standards. This change is proposed because including the multiple choice items in Writing is an option in and Writing will become a graduation requirement in Based on feedback received, the department proposes making all changes regarding Writing at the same time.

10 Science Science will be added as a seventh component. One point will be awarded for each percent meeting high standards, achievement level 3 or above, on FCAT. The Science component was adopted in November 2003 by the State Board of Education.

11 Math Lowest 25 Percent Learning gains among students in the Math Lowest 25 Percent will be added as an eighth component. One point will be awarded for each percent making learning gains. This calculation will mirror the current Reading Lowest 25 Percent calculation. This maintains the balance of half meeting high standards and half learning gains in the school grade calculation.
