School grades provide one metric to measure the performance of a school. Parents and the general public can use the school grade and its associated components to gain insight into how the school's students are performing. The school grades calculation was revised substantially for the 2014-15 school year and beyond to implement statutory changes made by the 2014 Legislature and incorporate the new Florida Standards Assessments (FSA). The 2015-16 school grades incorporate the new school grades model adopted for 2014-15 and include the new learning gains components for the first time. The school grades model focuses on student success measures: achievement in English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies; learning gains; graduation; acceleration success, and maintains a focus on students who need the most support.

“Accountability” means being held responsible for required results and showing the current status or accomplishments of a system toward reaching stated goals.
