Florida parents might consider asking whether Florida schools add or subtract value when they educate our children.
The latest 2006 FCAT data shows that every Florida school district shows large declines in the number of students who read on grade level between 3rd grade and 10th grade. On average statewide, 6.1% of students fall below grade level in reading for each additional year of education in a Florida school.
This table compares data from the 2006 FCAT reading test for 3rd graders with 10th graders for "all curriculum students". It lists the percent of students who read at FCAT Achievement Level 3 and above, Florida's standard definition for students who read on grade level. The right column shows each district's state rank. To see what this means, see Gov. Jeb Bush's letter.
Scroll down to see your county: Counties are in alphabetical order. The amount of decline is in the column in red. (The left column is the district number assigned by Florida state's Department of Education.)
