Grade Level Promotional Requirements
3rd Graders
The intent of the third-grade progression law is to ensure that students have the necessary reading skills to be successful in grade 4 and beyond. To be promoted, a third-grade student must score a Level 2 or above on the statewide Florida Standards Assessment – English Language Arts (FSA-ELA).
The FSA-ELA is not the sole determiner of promotion. Additional evaluations, portfolio reviews and assessments are available to assist the school.
6th Graders
According to s.1003.4156, F.S. promotion to 7th grade will require successful completion of the following academic courses:
- English
- Mathematics
- Social Studies
- Science
Please be aware that if a final grade of “F” is received in English, mathematics, social studies and/or science the student will be retained in the 6th grade.
