With each academic year comes updates to Florida’s education policies and testing procedures. Staying informed about what’s changing in 2024–2025 ensures students and parents can plan and prepare accordingly.
🔄 Key Updates for 2024–2025
Expansion of the FAST System: Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) continues to replace the FSA. Now, FAST ELA covers grades 3–10 and FAST Math covers grades 3–8.
More Emphasis on Progress Monitoring: Students will take assessments multiple times a year to track growth rather than relying solely on one high-stakes test.
EOC Policy Tweaks: Some districts are revising how EOC scores are factored into final grades—check with your local school for specifics.
Increased Digital Testing: More assessments will be taken online, requiring digital literacy and device readiness.
🧭 What This Means for Students and Families

Teachers may tailor lessons more effectively throughout the year.
It’s essential to keep communication open with your school about test schedules and devices.
Staying in-the-know helps your student stay ahead. Ask questions, attend school meetings, and use resources like this blog series to stay informed.
