The Fairport Central School District uses the FitnessGRAM Assessment to asses our students overall fitness levels at the elementary level. Students will be assessed using the FitnessGRAM from now until thier graduation from Fairport High School. It is even a goal to be able to track students scores starting in 3rd grade throught the 12th grade.
The four tests that are given are:
- PACER - cardiovascular endurance
- Push-Ups - upper body strength
- Curl-Ups - core/abdominal strength
- Sith and Reach - flexibility
The standards are based on a national average and are age and gender appropriate. The FitnessGRAM allows us to record and print "fitness progress reports" for each individual student. Each report provides feedback within each area tested.
