California Physical Fitness Test (PFT)

Attention: The PFT participation rate data is ONLY submitted to the California Department of Education (CDE) in the School Accountability Report Card (SARC), due annually by February 1. SARCs are one year in arrears, therefore, submit your current school year PFT participation rate data to your LEA Main Authorizer for the next year’s SARC. Contact your LEA to find out who is your LEA Main Authorizer.

Online modules are available to guide PFT Coordinators through the data submission and correction processes. In addition, free administration videos and training are available to assist PFT Coordinators in preparing staff for the PFT.
