****************************************************************************************************************************
NOTE:
The IOWA Standardized Test and the personal evaluation both meet your year end
home school law requirements.
Computerized results will be mailed to you about 4-6 weeks after testing is completed.

Florida law requires that the parent or guardian of a home-educated child file an annual evaluation with the district school superintendent's office.  The annual evaluation is due one year after submission of your letter of intent.  It is recommended that you send it certified mail, return-receipt requested.

As the parent/guardian you have options in the child's method of evaluation. 

We offer two of those options and a Florida State Certified Teacher administers and/or evaluates each.

1. Individual or Personal Evaluation   or   2. Nationally Normed Student Achievement Tests

As with any standardized testing instrument, the scores provide "a snapshot" of each child's achievements.  They are to be considered in conjunction with teacher observations, portfolio reviews, daily interactions, learning styles and the general knowledge you have about your child in order to gain a complete understanding of the child's academic growth and areas needing remediation. 
Always keep test scores in their proper perspective. 
They are a valuable piece of the puzzle,
but not the complete picture.
