Testing

We ask students to reach out to their enrolled school/district for specific testing guidelines and schedules. Feel free to reach out to a testing administrator for questions about any testing situations.

2022-23 School Year

Dear Florida Virtual School Parent/Guardian,

Statewide End-of-Course (EOC) assessments are administered to students enrolled in the following courses:

• Algebra 1 (Middle and High School)

• Geometry (Middle and High School)

• Biology 1 (High School)

• Civics (Middle/Junior only)

• U.S. History (High School)

FLVS does not administer EOC assessments, nor do we arrange for testing. These tests are computer-based and

administered at your student’s public school of enrollment (zoned school), or a separate location designated by the district.

All arrangements for the testing of Flex students are made through the school or district of enrollment, not FLVS.

Accommodations will be provided for students with documented IEP or 504 Plans on file with their zoned school district. If

this applies to your child, please confirm the school has all necessary documentation of approved accommodations prior to

test day.

Your zoned school district selects the exact testing dates within the state-issued calendar. Click here to view the statewide

assessment schedule on the Florida Department of Education’s website. Though EOC administrations occur in the fall,

winter, spring, and summer of each year, note that some schools/districts may have testing restrictions or specific rules to

follow. Please reach out to your school or district of enrollment to discuss the exact testing schedule.

Public School Students

Public school students enrolled in an EOC course are required to participate in EOC assessments. Per statute, the results of

the assessment must constitute 30% of the student’s final grade in the course. Further, certain EOC assessments are

required for graduation. Click here to view the Graduation Requirements for Florida’s Statewide Assessments. Please note

that EOC scores are returned to your student’s school of record, not to FLVS.

Please discuss with your school counselor how these assessment results will affect your student’s final grade and

graduation options. The public school student’s final grade in the FLVS course may be recalculated by the

district/school of enrollment based on the results of the EOC assessment. Students may earn an additional scholar

designation on their standard high school diploma based on EOC results in specific courses. Click here to read more

about Florida’s diploma requirements.

Home Education Students

Testing is optional for home education students. Home education students enrolled in an EOC course may choose to

participate in EOC assessments; however, they are not mandatory and do not count as a portion of the student’s final

course grade. For reasons why a home education student may want to participate in statewide testing, please see question

#17 of the Florida Department of Education’s Home Education Frequently Asked Questions and Answers. If you wish to

participate in EOC testing, please contact your district home education office for further information about EOC

assessments well in advance of a test administration. If you do not know who to contact within your district, a quick Google

search (e.g., your district name + Home Education) is the most efficient way for you to obtain this contact information.

Some districts only allow home education students to test at certain times during the school year and often there is a

registration window prior to testing. For example, we recommend that if you have plans to take an EOC in the spring, you

should reach out to the home education office by early January. EOC scores are returned to your district’s home education

office, not to FLVS.

Private School Students

Private school students enrolled in an EOC course may participate in EOC assessments if permitted by the student’s

school district. Private school students who wish to participate in EOC testing, or who plan to enroll in a public school at a

future date, should speak with their private school counselor or contact the district’s assessment office for guidance.

Students should follow the district’s testing policies; some districts may not allow private school students to test. Please

note that EOC scores are returned to the district assessment office, and ultimately the student’s private school, not to

FLVS.

Private school students who are enrolled under the Florida Tax Credit, Gardiner, Hope, or the Family Empowerment

Scholarship programs may participate in EOC assessments regardless of the district’s testing policy on private school

students. Please contact your private school counselor or your district’s assessment office for directions.

Practice Tests

Students are required to complete a practice test prior to the administration of an EOC assessment. These practice tests

provide students with an opportunity to become comfortable with the computer functionality and tools they will use during

testing. Please sign in as a “guest” and be prepared to let your test administrator know that you have completed this

requirement.
