Where the Data Comes From

All school performance values (points, percentile ranks, grades, designation years) originate from Florida Department of Education accountability reporting. You can review the source directly at Florida DOE School Grades. We simply reorganize publicly available information to make it easier to browse and compare.

What "Greatest" Means Here

We use “greatest” as a friendly shorthand for schools with strong results over multiple years—not a one‑year spike. Think sustained high percentile ranks, strong point totals, and continued School of Excellence designation.

Consecutive Years as a School of Excellence – Shows durability.
Recent Qualification – Confirms current performance.
Stable Percentile Rank (2023–2025) – Indicates reliability vs. volatility.

Friendly Tips When Comparing Schools

Look at multi‑year patterns, not just a single grade.
Consider economic disadvantage % and Title I status for context.
Longevity is helpful, but new high‑performers matter too.
