 FCAT Scores 7 July 2010
| The Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) results for 2010 were just
released. According to the Sarasota County FCAT score data for 10th
graders:
•61% are below grade level in reading
•62% are below grade level in science (this is for 11th graders)
•27% are below grade level in mathematics
If you read the local media you get a different picture. Headlines say
the district mean scores are better than the state average and in some grades
the mean scores improved. True enough but that is not the whole picture and
does a disservice to our students. I suggest we focus on those students who
fall below level 3 on the FCAT as the true measure of the district's success or
failure. When this many students cannot achieve at the minimum level of
performance in core subjects then the district is in deep trouble.
As Florida TaxWatch points out these 10th graders will never catch up. They are
doomed for life and will never achieve their full potential. Harsh words, yes,
but true.
