In Florida, its even worse now. All grades and scores become part of the FACTS system at FACTS.org (a central state run site.) One's entire high school transcript with all grades and tests scores are electronically available to all Florida U's and CC's now via FACTS. Most high schools use an elecctronic transcript program that not only downloads onto FACTS, but is separately available to instate U that have the program, and lists every FCAT score I believe going back to grade school), immunizations, ACT scores, SAT scores, AP scores. Our high school, and I believe all HS's in Florida pay for their student's AP exams, and it is not possible to op out of haviing scores sent to one's HS. With the Bright Futures programs and the tie in with FACTS, it is also difficult to keep SAT or ACT scores out of the hands of the high school. We did not want SAT scores available to state U's until D was done with her test taking and they had all sets to see, sent on our time schedule. That did not happen. She never ever listed any school or institution to receive her ACT scores, and they were on FACTS and her HS transcript.
