Dalton Public Schools administers the FITGeorgia fitness assessment in compliance with Georgia State Board Rule 160-4-2-.12, which requires all school districts to implement a fitness assessment approved by the Georgia Department of Education. City Park's fourth and fifth grade students will take the assessment on February 23-24.
FITGeorgia is a state-developed fitness assessment designed to evaluate multiple components of student health and physical fitness. The program replaces the former FITNESSGRAM platform and aligns with Georgia’s health and physical education standards.
FITGeorgia assesses the following areas: • Healthy Body Range • Aerobic Capacity • Flexibility • Muscular Strength • Muscular Endurance
These components provide a comprehensive snapshot of a student’s physical well-being and serve as a foundation for promoting lifelong health and fitness habits.
Who Participates and What Is Assessed
Grades 4–12: Students are required to complete and report on all five components of the FIT Georgia assessment. The data collected through FITGeorgia serves a variety of educational and public health purposes.
