Florida State Board of Education Approves New FCAT 2.0 Reading and Mathematics Scores

Tallahassee – For the first time in 10 years, the Florida State Board of Education today approved new achievement level scores for grades 3-10 in reading and grades 3-8 mathematics on the annual FCAT 2.0 assessments. Since Florida began administering the FCAT in 1998, data from reading and math has been used to gauge student achievement and to identify policy changes needed to link learning to best practices. These new achievement scores improve the movement that has kept Florida on the forefront of learning and achievement for more than a decade and will better prepare Florida students for college or a job after high school.
