School Quick Facts
As a result of statutory changes, the school grade
calculation process was revised during the 2014-2015
school year. Additionally, in 2014-2015 student learning
gains were not calculated because it was the first
administration of the Florida Standards Assessments
(FSAs). Although school grades were reported in 2014-
2015, due to lack of inclusion of student learning gains, the
grades are not comparable to school grades reported for
2015-2016. School grades reported for 2015-2016 are
considered to be baseline information for the new school
grade calculation process.
