FCAT
So there is one thing that all our teachers in all Florida public schools prepare us for each and every year….. FCAT. For those who don’t know it stands for Florida Comprehension Assessment Test. Every student takes it up until 12th grade and you only take it then if you’ve failed the reading section. There is a writing, reading, and math section for 9th and 10th grade. 11th graders have to take the science section and seniors don’t take any unless they failed one. The writing FCAT was on February 9th this year and FCAT reading is on March 8th and FCAT math on March 9th. They will adjust the schedule to fit the FCAT time frames. FCAT does not count for our grade but only helps decide whether or not to put you intensive reading/math. You also have to pass the 10th grade reading FCAT to graduate from Tavares. The writing portion of the test is graded on a scale of one to six. Six being the highest. THS 10th grade writing scores have averaged at 3.9 the last couple of years and we are hoping to average at 4.0 this year! Wish us luck as we reach to succeed our goal!
