State report card

Florida grades every public school A to F on the share of possible points it earns from state test results, learning gains and, for middle schools, middle school acceleration; high schools also earn points for graduation rate and college and career acceleration, according to the Florida Department of Education. In the state’s 2026 file an A takes 64% of possible points or more for a middle school.

School year Grade
2025-26 A (68% of possible points)

2023-24 B

The same file shows a B in each year from 2022 to 2025.
