Once your child has tested, you can access the results through the Pasco Parent Portal. Go to http://www.pasco.k12.fl.us/parents and scroll down to the School/Classroom Resources section and select myStudent. From this page, you can log in or create an account. If you try to go directly to the Florida Department of Education Family Portal, it will ask for an access code. These codes are already uploaded into the Pasco Parent Portal so that you may have a seamless transition between the two portals. You do not need the access code.
To access basic information, click on your child’s picture/first name on the left-hand side of the screen. Then choose Test History. A list of the tests that your child has taken will appear. To view the results of a test, click on the light gray arrow to the right of the name of the test. Basic testing information will appear.
To access additional information from the state portal, click on the Portal icon in the top left-hand corner. Then click on the Florida Statewide Assessments icon that appears to the right of the Reports tab. Scores will be reported in the state Family Portal within 24 hours from the time the assessment was completed. Additional information, such as a simple Individual Student Report including a longitudinal chart, will be available in the Family Portal shortly after the test is taken.
When you log into the Florida Statewide Assessments portal and access your child’s results, you will notice that there are three icons in the top right-hand corner; Glossary, Guide, and Resources. Click on the Guide icon. You will find a resource that will take you step-by-step through your child’s report. Remember that since this is new, not all of the information may be loaded into the state’s system yet. Click here to learn more about understanding FAST Assessments.
Not passing a required assessment does not automatically prevent a student from graduating. Florida provides multiple pathways for students to meet graduation requirements, including opportunities to retake assessments and earn qualifying concordant scores on approved college readiness exams. These exams include PSAT/NMSQT, SAT, CLT, CLT10, and the ACT.
Parents should know:
- Students have multiple opportunities to retake required assessments. Retake are offered four times each year (September, December, May, and June)
- Schools provide academic support and intervention to help students improve.
- Students may be eligible to meet certain assessment requirements through approved concordant scores.
- School counselors and administrators can help families understand available graduation pathways.
- Families are encouraged to monitor assessment results and work closely with school staff to develop a plan for success.
Need Help? Please contact your student’s school counselor.
