Achievement tests are given to all new K5-12th students who enroll at FCS. The results are used to determine academic deficiencies and to establish grade placement. Each spring, the Stanford Achievement Tests are given to all students in grades K5 through 9th grade to insure on-going academic development. The 10th graders take the PLAN test. The 11th graders take the PSAT, and the 12th graders take the SAT test (recommended) and ACT test (mandatory).
