2016 FASTAR Reading and Math Competition

On April 21, 2016, K-5 students participated in our annual FASTAR academic competition!

“FASTAR” stands for Fluent Academic Skills Tournament in Arithmetic and Reading and was developed by The Roger Bacon Academy, Inc. (RBA), the Leland-based management company of a network of local public charter schools. The annual FASTAR event sees students “race” to complete workbooks including a reading passage and 50 math problems at top speeds of two minutes.

As of this year, the FASTAR event has been implemented at each of RBA’s four client schools: Charter Day School in Leland, Columbus Charter School in Whiteville, Douglass Academy in Wilmington, and South Brunswick Charter School in Southport. Top “racers” from each of the schools will converge for a final competition– the Race of Champions– on May 13, 2016 at Lake Waccamaw. Columbus Charter School is the current FASTAR champion, and will work to defend its title at the 2016 event!
