Seahawk Shoutouts
Members of the Administrative Team made several stops throughout the district this summer to congratulate students who scored a level 5 on the FSA. The FSA (Florida Standard's Assessment) is a statewide assessment given to students in grades 3-10. This assessment is used to measure students' learning gains and proficiency levels.
Thirty-three students in grades 3-10 scored a level 5 on their FSA with multiple students scoring a level 5 in more than one tested subject. Superintendent Moses commented that she is a fan of this new tradition and added, “I am proud of our Franklin County teachers and students for their perseverance and dedication to continuous academic improvement.”
