State Testing to Close Out 2025-26 School Year

Window is May 13 through June 3

The spring 2026 state testing window in Fayette County Public Schools, which must fall within the last 14 days of the academic year, is May 13 through June 3 for elementary, middle, and high schools. Students in other academic programs will follow the same schedule. Make-up days are reserved within this span.

We urge families not to set up routine doctor’s appointments or otherwise take their children out of school during the testing window. We also encourage students to get plenty of sleep and eat healthy breakfasts so they can give their best effort!

Kentucky’s public school students participate in this annual testing, and the results are included in the state’s accountability system for schools and districts. Students in grades 3 through 8, 10, and 11 participate in Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA). It measures how well they are learning the material that the state requires in reading, math, science, social studies, and writing.  

Please check with your school’s staff or your child’s teacher for specifics.
