FAST Assessments
At Cape View Elementary, we are committed to using the best tools available to support student learning and growth. One of the most important tools we use throughout the year is FAST Progress Monitoring (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking Progress Monitoring).
What Is FAST?
FAST is Florida’s statewide assessment system designed to track student progress in reading and math. It provides real-time information on how students are doing with grade-level standards and helps teachers adjust instruction quickly to meet student needs.
Unlike traditional standardized testing that happens only once at the end of the year, FAST is given three times annually:
PM1 (Progress Monitoring 1) – early in the school year to establish a baseline.
PM2 (Progress Monitoring 2) – midyear to check growth and guide instruction.
PM3 (Progress Monitoring 3) – at the end of the year to measure overall achievement and growth.
Why Is FAST Important?
Immediate Feedback – Teachers receive student results quickly, allowing them to identify areas of strength and need right away.
Individualized Instruction – Results help guide small group lessons, intervention plans, and enrichment activities.
Growth Tracking – Families and educators can see how students are progressing over time, not just on a single test.
Alignment with Standards – FAST is directly tied to the Florida Benchmarks of Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.), ensuring that students are learning the skills they need for long-term success.
What Does It Mean for Families?
Parents and guardians will receive reports after each testing window. These reports highlight how your child is performing compared to grade-level expectations and provide clear insights into their learning growth.
At home, families can support their child by:
Encouraging daily reading and math practice.
Talking with teachers about ways to reinforce learning.
Celebrating growth and effort, not just scores.
Our Commitment
At Cape View, FAST progress monitoring is not just about data—it’s about using information to help every child grow and succeed. By working together—students, families, and educators—we can ensure that all children are supported on their learning journey.
