On Florida's end-of-course (EOC) exams, Biology 1 is reported on a scale from 325 to 475 (2022 to 2026), and each score falls into one of 5 performance levels. Reaching Satisfactory, at 395 or above, is the state's passing level.
| Level | Score range | What it means | Statewide 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inadequate | 325–368 | The lowest level, well below the state standard | 8% |
| Below Satisfactory | 369–394 | Approaching the state standard | 18% |
| Satisfactory | 395–420 | Meeting the state standard (the passing level) | 36% |
| Proficient | 421–430 | Above the state standard | 14% |
| Mastery | 431–475 | The highest level, above the state standard | 24% |
Statewide in 2026, about 74% of the students counted for Biology 1 reached Satisfactory or higher. The bar above shows the share at each level (left = lowest).
Grade 9 ELA and Grade 10 ELA include the students enrolled in that grade who took the state ELA test, as Florida's school report cards report them. Algebra 1 and Geometry include students who took the end-of-course test in the spring as first-time testers, in any grade, so middle-school students who take the course early are included and counted at their middle school; retakes are not included. Biology 1 includes students in grades 9 to 12 who took the end-of-course test, not middle-school students. US History includes 11th graders who took the end-of-course test.

A score's meaning depends on where it lands in the ranges above, and on how it compares to other students who took the same test. Our free tool turns a Biology 1 score into an estimated percentile versus the school, district and the whole state, so you can see where a score stands, not just its level.
