Dept Of Ed Releases High School Grades

December 22, 2012

School grades for high schools were released Friday by the Florida Department of Education.

Every high school in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties maintained their school grades from last year, with the exception of three. In Escambia County, Northview slipped from a B to C, and in Santa Rosa, Jay and Pace improved to A status.

The school grades are a Department of Education representation of how schools are performing relative to state standards.

Tate and Pensacola High both received a B-rating despite earning enough points to be labeled as A schools. Both were penalized because the graduation rate was not increased by 5 percent or more  among “at-risk” students –  those that scored a poor 1 or 2 on the FCAT in reading or math in eighth grade.
