Hillsborough County's 2017 School Grades Released

TAMPA, FL — The Florida Department of Education on Wednesday released grades for schools across the state for the 2016-17 academic year. Statewide, the number of schools earning A or B grades rose to 57 percent, up from 46 percent in the 2015-16 academic year.

FDOE said the state’s elementary schools saw the largest percentage point increase in A schools with some 30 percent, or 542 schools, making that grade in 2016-17. The number is up from 386 schools, or 21 percent from 2015-16.

“When I was growing up, I had access to a great public education which helped me achieve my goals and build a great career,” Gov. Rick Scott said in a statement announcing the grades. “Every student in Florida deserves the same opportunity. Floridians should be proud of the continuous improvement of our K-12 schools. I am thankful for the dedicated teachers, students and parents who work every day to advance education in our schools.”

The state’s grades are based on 11 different factors that include student achievement, learning gains statewide, high school graduation rates and standardized tests, among others. Grades are intended to “provide parents and the general public an easily understandable way to measure the performance of a school and understand how well each school is serving its students,” a state media release said.
