  • SY18 District and School Grades Collier County Public Schools - an “A” District
    ASSESSMENT BRIEF June 27, 2018 SY18 District and School Grades Collier County Public Schools - An “A” District The Florida Department of Education has released school grades for all levels and overall district grades. In 2018: CCPS tied for the third highest percentage points earned up from 33rd in 2011 • Two districts tied for first earning 69 percentage points • Two districts tied for second earning 67 percentage points; and • CCPS and one other district tied for third earning 66 percentage points Only 30% of the districts in Florida earned a district grade of an “A” CCPS has 27 of 54 (50%) schools earning an A . 22 schools maintained an A, 5 improved to an A 10 other schools improved their grade including two high schools, two middle schools, and six elementary schools First time in CCPS history to have all A, B, and C schools since the inception of school grading in 1999, with no D or F schools The state accountability system focuses on the following school and district performance outcomes: student achievement, learning gains, graduation, acceleration success, and maintaining a focus on students who need the most support. Incredible growth in CCPS can be attributed to the hard work and commitment of students, parents, teachers, administrators, District staff, and strong community support. A focus on progress monitoring and ongoing adjustments to instruction are integral to overall student achievement. Village Oaks Elementary’s school grade improved to a C and the school is no longer designated as a “Turnaround School” by the state of Florida, a significant accomplishment among the many school gains.

    summer 2015 edition A LOOK BACK! SECOND SEMESTER OF THE 2014-2015 SCHOOL YEAR SPOTLIGHT ON STUDENTS Academic Competitions, Art Displays, and Music Showcases SHINING STARS Teachers, Staff, and Volunteers PHOTO GALLERY Second Semester Flashback COMMUNITY Partnerships in Action MESSAGE FROM YOUR SUPERINTENDENT It is with great pride that I present to you an overview of one of the best school districts in the country, Collier County Public Schools (CCPS). We serve nearly 45,000 students from Pre-Kindergarten through grade 12. We truly believe education is not only the shared responsibility of the school and the home, but the community as well. This is why we want to share the many successes of the past year with you, in hopes that you will continue to support our mission of providing quality educational programs for our students. One exciting event we most recently celebrated was our second annual iSTEM Competition which brought together students from across the district for a day filled with science, technology, engineering, and math activities. It was great to see the students showcasing their critical thinking skills and having fun at the same time. This year we witnessed our students take home top honors in many other academic programs, including the Laws of Life Essay Contest and our Scholar Bowls. Also, who can forget all of the talented students who participated in our many fine arts programs? It was a joy to see the students perform so passionately in our middle and high school honors chorus, orchestra, and band concerts. I am extremely proud of our high schools when it comes to school grades and graduation rates.

  • Limited Audit of DOH Data Compared to Data Provided by Districts for the Overlapping Time Period (Sept
    Limited Audit of DOH data compared to data provided by districts for the overlapping time period (Sept. 6 – Sept. 26 only). October 1, 2020 Rebekah Jones, The COVID Monitor, Florida COVID Action This report was written as part of a data quality review for recently released data by the Florida Department of Health, in conjunction with both The COVID Monitor and FloridaCovidAction.com. For questions about this report, please email: [email protected] The Florida Department of Health (DOH) report referred to in this audit was released Sept. 29, 2020, and listed a number of student, staff, and “unknown” cases for each school in the state which had positive results reported between September 6, 2020 and September 26, 2020. This audit provides an overview of major discrepancies, with detailed looks at two Florida counties that have been publishing their own district data independently of DOH: Collier and Duval. As we continue to work through the data, we will update this information with new counties. Layout notes: To reduce confusion about whether we’re referring to data provided by counties/school districts, or data provided about counties from the Sept. 29 Department of Health (DOH) state data, we’re going to color code our text for extra emphasis. Data provided by school districts (counties) will be green. Data provided by the state/DOH will be purple. We realize this may make it difficult for those who have color vision deficiency to distinguish between the two, so we will make every effort to refer to data provided directly by the school districts in each county as either the “district/county,” and refer to the data coming from the DOH report as either “the state/DOH.” We will provide a version without color coding, as well.
