The Sunshine State Shines Nationally…

Education Week 2009 Quality Counts:

Ranked Florida’s education system top 10 in the nation.

Highest Quality Counts grade to date is a B-, which surpasses the national average of a C.

In 2008, ranking leaped from 31st in the nation to 14th, and now 10th.

U.S. News and World Report:

Seven Florida schools in the Top 100 High Schools in the nation.


Florida’s Foundation for Success

Quality Counts in Florida and it’s producing National Results!

Advanced Placement (AP) Florida had the greatest one-year increase in the number of public

school AP Exam Takers and the greatest increase in the number of exams administered in the nation in 2008.

“Number 1” in the number of African-American students taking and passing AP exams.

Six Florida public schools are recognized in the 2008 AP Report to the Nation as having the best AP Courses in the nation. (More than any other state.)

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Florida is one of only four states in the nation to improve significantly

in both fourth and eighth-grade NAEP reading. Florida is one of only five states that showed a significant narrowing of

the White/African American achievement gap in fourth-grade NAEP reading, and one of only seven states to do the same in eighth-grade NAEP math.

Too Many Students Graduate from High School Unprepared for College and Work

30% of first year students in postsecondary education are required to take remedial courses.

• In 2005-06, the total cost of postsecondary remediation was $129.8 million.

The State paid $70 million – more than half – of these costs.

Approximately 54% of recent high school graduates enrolled in community colleges did not meet the post-secondary readiness standard.

Faculty estimate 42% unprepared of first year students in credit-bearing courses.

Employers estimate 45% lack skills.

Quality Counts rates college readiness low.

Writing

Findings

Thirty-five percent of high school graduates in college and 38% of high school graduates in the workforce feel their writing does not meet expectations for quality (Achieve, Inc., 2005).

Writing remediation costs American businesses as much as $3.1 billion annually (National Commission on Writing, 2004).


2009 FCAT Writing

85 percent of grade 4 students scored 3.5 and above, representing an increase of eight percentage points compared to last year.

90 percent of grade 8 students scored 3.5 and above, representing a two percentage point increase compared to last year.

77 percent of grade 10 students scored 3.5 and above, representing a one percentage point decrease compared to last year.


An Expectations Gap: We don’t expect high school graduates to be prepared

Academic standards were not aligned with postsecondary success.

Graduation requirements too low.

Assessments not meaningfully connected with students’ college or career aspirations.

Florida High Schools are held accountable for student performance on 10th grade FCAT, not postsecondary success.

RESULT: Students can earn a high school diploma without the skills necessary for success in college and high-skills, high-wage work.

(http://www.fldoe.org/schools/CommonPlacementTesting.asp)

Assists with the implementation of the expanded postsecondary readiness testing and high school “readiness” opportunities.

Provides a link to the statute, technical assistance memos and high school remediation course descriptions.

Includes other useful information to help district high schools and partnering colleges develop policies and procedures in accordance with the statutory provisions.
