This rule describes Florida’s school grading process, each type of data that is used in the process, how points for school grades are calculated, and requirements to receive an A, B, C, D, or F grade. This rule amendment is proposed to implement recent legislative changes to Section 1008.34, Florida Statutes, to adjust a participation rate calculation to conform with federal reporting requirements, and extend the one-letter-grade-drop protection to support stability during Florida’s transition to Common Core standards and assessments.
