Lake Forrest Preparatory School

LFPS administers the SAT 10 for achievement testing in the elementary grades. This continues to be the newest version available with the newest norms and most updated information when comparing our students to other students at the same age same grade level across the nation.

Achievement testing with a nationally normed achievement test SAT 10 evaluates the success of the curriculum the staff and the students with nationwide standards not just the standards of Florida (FCAT). Annual testing at every grade level kindergarten through fifth grade provides regular consistent and valuable information about Lake Forrest Prep effectiveness of the curriculum and the individual students progress. The information obtained from the test results is usually a direct reflection of that particular child in the classroom on a regular basis. This is valuable information because Lake Forrest Preparatory School does not put pressure on the students or staff to prepare for this test. The staff is provided with the carefully selected curriculum and any materials necessary to implement the curriculum. Research shows that if the curriculum is taught with integrity by effective teachers the students will perform to their highest potential. Our overall scores are quite impressive because we accept any child that fits within the LFPS mission statement. The majority of our students are working above grade level with ease and success. However some of our students have diagnosed exceptionalities such as auditory processing and learning disabilities. Some of our students struggle to keep up on a daily basis but we help them succeed without a lot of stress and pressure to perform outside their potential. Achievement testing does not have to be high pressure if everything else is RIGHT. Individual student test results are reviewed and discussed at individual parent-teacher conferences at the end of the school year.
