Today, July 24, 2024, the Florida Department of Education released school and district grades for the 2023-2024 school year.
According to Superintendent, Dr. Kathy Burns,
“Nassau County School District has once again received an ‘A’ grade, with 12 schools earning an ‘A’ and one school earning a ‘B’. This is the highest number of ‘A’ schools in Nassau County since the inception of the state grading system. Our overall score placed us at number three in the state. These results reflect the hard work and dedication of our teachers, administrators, support staff, students, parents, and community members. The Nassau County School District has a long-standing tradition of excellence, and we express our gratitude to everyone who has contributed to this legacy over the years.”
School grades provide an easily understandable way for parents and the general public to understand how well each school is serving its students. Schools are graded A, B, C, D, or F. Each school grade is based on a variety of components. There are five achievement components and four learning gains components, as well as components for middle school acceleration, graduation rate and college and career acceleration. The five achievement components are English Language Arts (ELA), Grade 3 ELA, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. The four learning gains components are learning gains in ELA and Mathematics, as well as learning gains for the lowest performing 25% of students in ELA and Mathematics.
The Middle School Acceleration component is based on the percentage of eligible students who passed a high school level EOC assessment or industry certification.
Graduation rate is based on an adjusted cohort of ninth grade students and measures whether the students graduate within four years.
The College and Career Acceleration component is based on graduates who earned passing scores on a variety of acceleration examinations (AP, IB, or AICE), dual enrollments credits, Armed Services Qualification Test, or earned industry certification.
