Sarasota Schools get good marks


This month The Florida Department of Education released its 2008 grade report and it showed that Sarasota County continues on its road to excellence. The district maintained its A status.. 83 percent of regular district schools received A’s compared with 78 percent last year.

95 percent of the district’s elementary schools received A’s. Two of its five high schools earned A’s and four high improved one letter grade.

Only two schools received lower grades this year than they had last but no school received a D or an F.

The report issued by the State also contains results of how many schools achieved Adequate Yearly Progress under the terms of the federal No Child Left Behind law.

The percentage of students who must test at the proficiency level for a school to make AYP increased this year from 51 percent to 58 percent in reading and from 56 percent to 62 percent in mathematics.
