School district fares well in FCAT
Citrus ahead of state averages
In a year that saw the launch of a more rigorous test and a grading system designed to avoid sharp highs and lows, the Citrus County School District distinguished itself.
Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test (FCAT) results released recently showed the district ahead of state averages in 14 out of 16 scored areas.
“I think when you look at all the cuts and jobs we had to not fill in the last couple of years and look at the consolidation of jobs, I think when you see results like this, it shows the hard work the teachers, staff and kids do every day to be successful,” said Sandra “Sam” Himmel, superintendent of Citrus County schools.
For Himmel, the most remarkable thing about the results is the number of schools with 85 percent or more students scoring high in reading and math.
“I think when you get in those numbers, I think that’s phenomenal,” she said, “and it just goes back to all the hard work that everybody does.”
