Likes:
*Helps students see their progress
*Sharing the results
*Makes kids accountable for personal fitness
*Shows program value
*Does an overall fitness check (NYS)
*Liked students and parents to see results of tests
*President’s - Software results easily accessible, multibe levels of achievement, short administration time, motivation it provides in achieving goals, increased interest in fitness in a non-competitive way
*Physical Best - identifies weaknesses and a choice of runs
 
Dislikes:
*Sit & Reach-measurements, need better equipment
*Many sitting around and waiting
*Is performance reliable for younger levels
*K-2 lack of understanding and focus is low
*President’s - hard to share data district wide, dislike K-3 test, add extra components

Observations:
*Scores are typically low for upper body strength
*Value of testing seems to increase with older students, set goals, understand more
