More Florida’s High Schools are receiving As and Bs this year. The Department of Education released the grades today. 78 percent of Florida schools received either an A or a B, up from 71 percent last year. Deputy Commissioner Education Kris Ellington credits increased enrollment in advanced placement course for the surge in good grades.

“This by in large is mostly due to the enhanced participation and success in accelerated course work,” said Ellington.

25 of the high school graded received Ds and six were given Fs, accounting for six percent of the overall grades.
