MORE M-DCPS SCHOOLS RECEIVE A PERFORMANCE GRADE OF ‘A’ COMPARED TO STATE, OTHER LARGE DISTRICTS Schools Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho announced today that 43 percent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) elementary, K-8 and middle schools received a School Performance Grade of “A,” while only five percent received an “F,” according to information released by the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) today. The report also showed higher percentages of M-DCPS schools received School Performance Grades of “A” in comparison to the state and other large districts. These improvements were achieved despite the disproportionately high number of English Language Learners and concentration of disadvantaged students in M-DCPS. The 2013-2014 School Performance Grades are computed using student results from the FCAT 2.0 Reading, Mathematics, Science, and Writing; and end-of-course exams. # # # 14-JS/005/HD |
