Sarasota County School District Earns A grade Again

Business

The Sarasota County School District has earned another A grade for 2016-17 and is one of only two of the state’s 67 districts to have earned an A every year since grading began in 2004. School and district grades were released today by the Florida Department of Education. The district is graded on 11 different criteria, including test scores in language arts, math, science and social studies, the graduation rate and the number of students in middle and high school that take accelerated and advanced course work. Those areas have been a focus, particularly on the success and learning gains of the students who score in the lowest 25 percent of the test results. This year, the district’s FSA scores were well above state averages at all grade levels, and the percentage of students who were proficient in English language arts and math increased at nearly all grade levels.
