About half of Volusia County students did not pass their English language arts or math assessments, newly released state data shows.
The test scores released by the Florida Department of Education on Thursday show what educators long expected and feared: achievement dipped statewide during the COVID-19 pandemic. Volusia and Flagler counties both experienced overall drops in proficiency rates compared to 2019’s scores, the last time state testing in reading comprehension, math, science and social studies were administered.
On average, more than half of Volusia County students who were tested 51% in English language arts and 52% in mathematics are likely to need “substantial support” in the next grade level, according to the state’s scoring sheet. Their state assessment scores were not considered passing grades.
