The Florida Department of Education released the results of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test in reading and math for third-graders last Thursday.
The results show that 68 percent of Levy County students in reading and 77 percent in math meet or exceed expectations for their grade level. This year’s results are down from 2008, which showed that 74 percent of Levy students in reading and 79 percent in math met or exceeded expectations.
FCAT results are reported in achievement levels which range from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest), according to the Florida DOE Web site www.fcat.fldoe.org. A level 3 is regarded as performing on grade level. Third-graders must obtain a level 2 to be promoted to fourth grade, although certain exceptions can be granted, according to the DOE.
This year students throughout the county scored within 1 to 3 percentage points of their peers throughout the state.
