The K-1 FastBridge Family Report answers three main questions K-1 parents may have:
- How is my student doing?
- How does my student compare to his or her peers?
- And how have my student’s scores changed over time?
Information that is contained in each student’s report is described below.

What is FastBridge?
FastBridge is a set of reading and math assessments that teachers use to measure student learning. FastBridge scores help teachers to know what kind of teaching each student needs to help them grow, both individually and as part of the whole class.
What assessments did my student take?
K-1 students complete both reading and math assessments.

How is my student doing?
Student scores are categorized according to criterion-referenced scores, often called “benchmarks,” which allow you to quickly see how your student is performing relative to their grade level. FastBridge assigns student scores into three categories:
- On Track: A student listed as On Track has listed skills that meet or exceed the grade-level expectation.
- Some Risk: A student listed as Some Risk may need additional support to improve the listed skill(s) and is at some risk of falling behind their peers.
- High Risk: A student listed as High Risk will need additional support to improve the listed skill(s) and is at high risk of falling behind their peers.
How does my student compare to other students?
For each assessment your student completed over the last screening period, you can see how they performed relative to their peers.
The percentile rank corresponds to the percentage of students who scored lower than your student on that given assessment, and these scores are compared to students in their district (if available) as well as across the nation.
Important note: All information contained in the FastBridge report should always be used as a starting point for conversations about individual student learning needs, and in conjunction with other sources of information about student performance. For more information, please talk to your child’s teacher.
