On Friday, July 20, 2012, the Florida Department of Education notified 40 superintendents around the State of Florida about preliminary revisions to the initial school grades released earlier this month.
The A to F school grades report for Florida’s elementary, middle and combination schools (not including those with high school grades) was calculated by the Florida Department of Education, validated independently by Florida State University, and released on July 11.
During the continuous review process however, the Florida Department of Education said that it identified preliminary revisions for both schools and districts that will result in increases. The revisions involved 213 of the initially graded 2,586 schools as follows:
• 116 school grades changed from a B to an A.
• 55 school grades changed from a C to a B.
• 35 school grades changed from a D to a C.
• 7 school grades changed from an F to a D.
Four Brevard County schools: Coquina Elementary; Fairglen Elementary; Palm Bay Elementary; and Central Middle School, all were revised upward from a 'B' school to an 'A' school.
The impact of these preliminary revisions to the initial school grades will result in the following changes to nine initial district grades across the State of Florida:
• Collier County will increase from a B to an A.
• Desoto County will increase from a D to a C.
• Gadsden County will increase from a D to a C.
• Hillsborough County will increase from a C to a B.
• Okeechobee County will increase from a D to a C.
• Osceola County will increase from a C to a B.
• Palm Beach County will increase from a B to an A.
• Pasco County will increase from a C to B.
• Union County will increase from a B to an A.
The Florida Department of Education says that these changes were identified during the review process that occurs between the time initial school grades are released and final school grades are published after an appeals process has been completed. This phase of the school grading process, which involves district validation, is important because it provides transparency and helps ensure the final grades are correct.
“School grades are important to students, parents, teachers, principals, administrators and the community,” Commissioner of Education Gerard Robinson said in a press release. “And, while I am pleased that the continuous review process has resulted in better grades, we will continue to look for ways to improve the grade calculation process.”
The Florida Department of Education says that it notifies school districts of anticipated changes to initial school grades as they are identified throughout this phase of the process to assist them in local planning decisions pending the release of the final school grades, which will occur during the first week in September.
“The fact that eight percent of school grades will increase not only affirms the hard work of Florida’s students, teachers and district leadership, it demonstrates the value of the continuous review process,” said Commissioner Robinson. “The strength of our accountability system depends on the partnership between school districts and the department, and these revisions are a direct result of that process.”
