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.

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.
