To meet graduation requirements, public school students in Florida must participate in and pass any statewide, standardized assessments required for a standard diploma or earn identified concordant scores or comparative scores, as applicable, for the cohort year in which they entered in ninth grade (M-DCPS, 2024). One of the statewide assessments required for graduation is the Grade 10 English Language Arts (ELA) Florida Assessment for Student Thinking (FAST) assessment or a concordant score on the College Board's SAT, Admission College Testing (ACT) or Classical Learning Test (CLT) assessment. The goal of this Research Brief is to provide an analysis of an alternative pathway to graduation for English Language Learners (ELL) who have been in the English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program for less than two years. To do so, the researchers aim to estimate what Lexile score, based on the Achieve3000 LevelSet assessment, is equivalent to a passing score on the Grade 10 ELA FAST exam.
