Scantron Supports Accountability In Florida Private Schools
Florida requires any private school participating in the Florida Tax Credit or Gardiner Scholarship Programs to demonstrate academic accountability to parents 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.

Scantron’s Performance Series is approved as an assessment to help private school educators demonstrate student proficiency using a rigorously normed study, with high reliability and a low standard error of measurement, alignment with rigorous content standards, and that serves as an adequate measure of K–12 student achievement in core academic areas.
Performance Series is a research-based, criterion-referenced computer-adaptive test that lets K–12 educators quickly pinpoint the instructional level of students across a range of subjects (including but not limited to Reading and Math), capture immediate results, and produce standards-based reports including suggested learning objectives, on a scaled score.
Performance Series enables educators to identify the proficiency levels of students corresponding to state-specific standards, measure growth, understand student performance in relation to others, inform instruction, help with placement, and provide direct links to several teaching and learning resources such as Edgenuity’s Odyssey, MyPath, Hybridge, and Pathblazer.
