Parents of Personalized Education Program (PEP) students have the option to select from the Florida Department of Education's (FDOE) list of approved norm-referenced assessments, which are also available to other scholarship students attending participating private schools. Alternatively, PEP parents or guardians for students in grades 3-10 may coordinate with their local school district to have their students take Florida's statewide assessments, administered to public school students during the third progress monitoring window (May 1-22, 2026). These assessments must be taken at a scheduled date and time at a school site designated by the district.

If you would like your student to take a statewide assessment, the following options are available (all administered in May 2026):

• Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) for Grades 3–10 Reading and Grades 3–8 Mathematics
• Science for Grades 5 and 8
• End-of-Course assessments for Algebra 1, Biology 1, Civics, Geometry, and U.S. History

Please note: You must contact the district assessment office by March 6, 2026, to register for statewide testing. Do not contact your local public school or arrive for testing without prior arrangements through the district office.

For more information on PEP or summer testing opportunities in Leon County, please contact Kris Kolp, District Testing Coordinator, at (850) 487-7858 or via email at kris.kolp@leonschools.net.
