Schools out for summer, and statewide Florida schools' grades are in.
Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday announced the latest grades, which track individual schools and districts, which show a marked improvement from last year.
The grades take into consideration how well a school or district supports students in the following areas: achievement, learning gains, graduation, acceleration success, and maintaining a focus on struggling students.

"Seventy-one percent of all graded schools are now earning either an A or a B grade. That's a really big deal. This exceeds our performance last year, in which 64% of schools earned an A or a B grade," said DeSantis.
The governor said every grade level school showed improvement, when it came to the letter grades.
"In 2025 the number of elementary schools earning an A grade increased by four points, middle schools receiving an A increased by nine points, and the number of high schools earning an A increased by 10 points year over year. That means nearly 200,000 more students are enrolled in A and B schools in the past academic year than in the previous academic year," said DeSantis.
Watch Governor DeSantis discuss the statewide letter grades for 2025:
Overall, 76% of schools that were graded D or F in 2024 improved in 2025 and 100% of schools that got an F in 2024, improved in 2025.
When it came to district-wide letter grades, DeSantis announced 28 school districts received an A letter grade, 31 received a B, 8 got a C, and no districts got a D or F.
Here are the district-wide grades for South Florida districts:
- Palm Beach: A
