PFT: Physical Fitness Testing

The physical fitness test (PFT) for students in California schools is the FITNESSGRAM®. The main goal of the test is to help students in starting life-long habits of regular physical activity. Students in grades five, seven, and nine take the fitness test. The test has six parts that show a level of fitness that offer a degree of defense against diseases that come from inactivity. The test results can be used by students, teachers, and parents.

The Governor's Office issued Executive Order (EO) N-56-20 (https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/EO-N-56-20.pdf) that included a waiver of the Physical Fitness Test (PFT) for the 2019-20 school year. Specifically, the EO stated the following: Education Code section 60800, requiring each LEA maintaining any of grades 5, 7, and 9 to administer a physical fitness performance test to each student in those grades, and Education Code sections 33352(b)(4) and (5), requiring the California Department of Education to collect data regarding the administration of the physical fitness test, are waived for the 2019-20 school year.

11th Grade PSAT Testing

Students who took the PSAT in October will be receiving an email on Dec 7th or 8th with information on how to access their scores. The school is not receiving paper copies of scores at this time so families will need to visit the Collegeboard website to access their scores. If you haven't yet created an account, please do so here.

CCA will not be administering the PSAT on January 26, 2021. Go to the College Board website for registration details. One possibility, among others, may be Cal Coast Academy, though CCA does not endorse or promote any one testing location over any others.

Why only 11th grade students?

To promote student wellness and balance
SDUHSD offers the PSAT to 11th grade students only as preparation for the SAT as well as an opportunity to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship
Only the scores from the PSAT taken in 11th grade year are considered for the National Merit Scholarship competition
