School district earns “A” sixth year in a row
Citrus County School District officials heard some good news Wednesday night. That’s when Florida’s Department of Education released school grade information.
For the sixth year in a row, the district earned an A — as did all the county’s public elementary and middle schools.
School grades are based on results of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). School grades for public high schools will be released in the fall.
Sandra “Sam” Himmel, superintendent of schools, said she was eagerly waiting for the password to be released at 7 p.m. Wednesday to log on and see how the district fared.
“We’re excited that they’re all A’s,” she said.
The district also climbed in state rankings from 15th of 67 districts to 14th, according to Patrick Simon, director of research and accountability for Citrus County schools.
Himmel said, “We’re pleased because, again, I think the grades are a result of the work that the staff puts into it.”
Two schools, Homosassa Elementary School and Rock Crusher Elementary School, brought their grade up from B’s to A’s.
