Welcome to

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.
