Earlier this week, the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) released 2024 spring assessment results for schools across the state. The Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) is administered three times a year. Progress Monitoring 1 (PM1) was administered in August 2023 and established student performance on grade-level standards at the beginning of the year (prior to instruction). PM2 was administered in December 2023 as a mid-year check on student progress from the beginning of the year, and PM3 was administered in May 2024 as an end-of-year summative assessment to measure student mastery of Florida’s Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (BEST) Standards. The FAST provides teachers, students, and parents with real-time, immediate, and actionable data at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year to drive student learning.

“I am immensely proud of our students’ performance on the 2024 State assessments. In only the second year of implementation of new standards and a new assessment platform, our students continue to demonstrate remarkable growth and achievement. This success is a testament to the unwavering focus, dedication, and commitment of our teachers, administrators, and district staff. Their fidelity in providing high-quality instruction and support has once again proven to be exemplary. Supportive parents and engaged community members are vital for building on success in the year ahead. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this outstanding performance.” -Dr. Leslie Ricciardelli, CCPS Superintendent
