t-loijd,I The Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test started in 1998 as the state's plan to increase student achievement by way of implementing higher standards in the areas of mathematics, reading, writing, and science. During the 2010-11 school year, Florida began transitioning from FCAT to FCAT 2.0 and the Florida End-of-Course (EOC)Assessments, changing some of the logistics of testing, but still including the same areas of study. Please see the glossary at the end of this report for a description of FCAT scoring. Table 66 shows the percentage of students in Indian River County and Florida, grades 3 — 10, scoring 3 and above on the FCAT 2.0, in 2013 and 2014.
