Norm Reference Test Date
Coastal Middle and High School
Dear Parents/Guardians:
On September 15th and 16th, all students will take the EDSERIES norm referenced test. Testing will be administered over two days, about 2-3 hours each day. This is mandatory for all students. The EDSERIES is a standardized battery of ability and achievement tests. In compliance of the school reopening plan, we are required to submit this data to the Department of Education.
Additionally, Florida Statutes requires a private school participating in the Family Empowerment Scholarship, Florida Tax Credit, Gardiner Scholarship or Hope Scholarship Program to demonstrate academic accountability to the parent by annually administering or making provisions for students participating in the scholarship program to take one of the nationally norm-referenced tests identified by the Department of Education or the statewide assessments pursuant to Section 1008.22, Florida Statutes.
Looking Ahead
For progress monitoring, high school students will take this test again closer to the end of the semester. We will follow up with a test date as we get closer. Again, in compliance of the school reopening plan, we are required to submit this data to the Department of Education.
Best,
Coastal Administration
