The Florida Department of Education released school and district grades today. Since 1999, Florida has used school grades to communicate how well a school is performing relative to state standards. These preliminary school and district grades reflect major legislative changes in how school and district grades are calculated, which became effective on January 6, 2016.
Overall, over half of the schools in the District earned an A or B grade. The District earned a “B” grade, narrowly missing an “A” by two points and is currently the eighth highest scoring school district in the state.
“I am proud to be one of the top ten school districts in the state of Florida. I value the work that our teachers, staff and administrators are doing to impact student learning,” said Superintendent Laurie J. Gaylord. “We celebrate the positive results and have action plans to address areas of need. These results further substantiate why our Martin Family Language Involvement Program is necessary in our community to build a solid literacy foundation for school readiness and success for our students,” she said.
“We continue to employ best practices to educate all students for success with our vision for a dynamic system of excellence,” added Gaylord.
