Apalachicola Bay Charter School gets an A grade for third year in a row

School grades were released Friday and the Apalachicola Bay charter School is once again an “A” school.

                                      

It’s the third year in a row the school has received an A, and the 7^th time since 2005.

The ABC School was one of 962 elementary schools statewide to receive an “A” grade this year.

Grades for the Franklin County School have not yet been released – High School and consolidated school grades will be released later this year.

Port St. Joe Elementary School in Gulf County dropped from a B to a C grade this year.

Wewahitchka elementary School received a C grade for the second year in a row.

School grades have been issued since 1999 – they are primarily based on the results of the FCAT standardized test that is taken by most Florida students every year.

High-performing schools and those that improve their school grade can receive additional funding, while struggling schools will receive extra help to improve. 

This is the final year school grades will be calculated using the current formula.

The new grading system next year will support the more rigorous Florida Standards and the Florida Standards Assessment which will replace the FCAT.
