PFT Statewide Research Files

Statewide data files for the Physical Fitness Testing Program.

These research files contain results from the Physical Fitness Test (PFT) program. Each file contains the same information presented in the Reports section of this site and is provided to allow for more complex analyses and customized reporting of the data. The data files, including file layout, entities, and subgroup files, are comma-delimited text files provided in a zip format. The files below provide links to historical PFT data from years 1999 through 2019. The PFT was suspended for school years 2019–2020 and 2020–2021, resulting in no data for those years. For PFT participation data beginning in 2021–22, and beyond please visit SARC for additional information.
