STUDENT PLACEMENT

How Is Placement Determined?MYP YEAR 1 | GRADE 6

Appropriate course placement decisions ensure a

successful academic experience and avoid disruption to a

student’s schedule during the year.

Data gleaned from several sources, including FSA,

Benchmark Assessments, academic grades, and teacher

recommendations may be used to determine placement.

Students who scored a Level 1 or 2 on the last

administration of the Florida Standards Assessment (FSA)

may be scheduled into a Remedial Course in lieu of

Language Acquisition (Spanish).

Franklin Academy students must meet school-specific

criteria for advanced placement; Broward County District

letters regarding placement do not supersede Franklin

Academy placement criteria.

No schedule changes or placement exceptions will be

made unless the school made a placement error.
