SCHOOL GRADES RELEASED

School grades were released by the Florida Department of Education and Monroe County Schools showed significant gains across all areas. Six schools improved a letter grade and ten schools maintained their grade from last year.  Poinciana Elementary, Plantation School, Treasure Village Montessori and Somerset Prep each improved to an A grade, Key Largo School moved to a B grade and May Sands Montessori improved to a C.

Overall, there were eight A graded schools in the district: Poinciana Elementary, Plantation Key School, Sigsbee Charter School, College of the Florida Keys Academy, Ocean Studies Charter, Somerset Prep Academy, Treasure Village Montessori; six B graded schools: Coral Shores High School, Key West High School, Marathon Middle/High School, Sugarloaf School, Stanley Switlik Elementary, Key Largo School; and three C graded schools: Gerald Adams Elementary, Horace O’Bryant School, May Sands Montessori.

One of the most noteworthy improvements was in learning gains.  MCSD is close to reaching the Strategic Plan goal of 62% learning gains overall with 61% in math and 60% in English/Language Arts.

The District received a grade of B earning 62% points overall, just two percentage points from an A. With this improvement, the district moves in state rankings from 36th place to 26th place among Florida school districts.

“I am very proud of the work we have done in the district,” stated Superintendent Theresa Axford.  “Principals and teachers have been focused and it has made a difference for our students.”
