The 16th annual edition of Education Week's Quality Counts published in January of this year ranks Florida's school above average with a score of 79.4 (compared to 76.5 for the U.S.) and a rank of 11.
Florida State Department of Education tracks all schools in Florida and its preliminary rankings for 2012 were just released this week. Their website provides a wealth of information about each school and ranks schools according to their grade point score. This year's grade reflect both higher standards and temporary adjustments to ease the transition to Common Core State Standards and Assessments.
Central Florida schools did well. Seminole County schools ranks 5th in the state with all nine high schools earning A's and B's. For high schools, Crooms Academy ranks 37 in the state and highest in Seminole County, and Lake Mary HS ranks 175 and a grade of B.
