APPLICATION FOR PRE-QUANTUM LEAP ACADEMY PROGRAM

The Pre-Quantum Leap Academy admissions are based on past academic achievement, FCAT achievement, and a student’s demonstrated desire to excel.

Attention Parents of Sixth Grade Students
Electronic Practice FCAT now available!
An Electronic Practice Assessment Tool (ePAT) allows Florida students and staff to experience the TestNav and TestHear testing platforms for Florida computer-based assessments. Each ePAT will familiarize students and staff with the format, item types, and computer-based tools of a computer-based assessment. Content may not accurately reflect the level of difficulty of items on an actual test, and performance on the ePAT is not an indicator of how a student will perform on an actual test.
