Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools follows the Prudential FitnessGram as the physical fitness assessment for students in grades 3-12.
Charlotte Mecklenburg Guidelines:
1. Students in grades 3-5 are fitness tested at least 1x a year
2. Students in grades 6-12 are fitness tested at least 2x a semester/year
3. ***Students should NOT be graded on their performance on the fitness test***
Fitness Test components:

Muscular endurance: Curl-Up test

Flexibility: Teachers choose either the shoulder right/left stretch, trunk lift, or V-sit (whatever test you choose for their 1st attempt should always be used for all future assessments)
