FCAT Writing Results Released

May 8th, 2008 by flanews

Florida students tested better in writing than they did a year ago. Results of the writing portion of the Florida Comprehension Assessment Test or FCAT were released today. More students in 4th, 8th, and 10th grade are writing above their grade level than were a year ago. Leon High School Principal Rocky Hanna says students were supposed to pass the writing test in order to graduate, but plans changed.

“I can tell our kids, oh, by the way, you didn’t have to pass that test like I told you two weeks ago and teachers oh by the way all that work you did preparing for the writing plus part we can just throw all that away,” said Hanna.

FCAT results are used to grade schools. This year lawmakers passed a bill that will make FCAT results only half of a school overall grade.
