Last week the Florida Department of Education released the Spring 2016 Statewide English Language Arts, Math, Science and End-of-Course Test Results.  Once again Citrus County students outperformed the state in all subject areas!

These are most encouraging results and I am so proud of our students’ results, and our teachers, staff and administrators, who worked so hard to prepare and encourage our students to be successful. These successful results do not happen by accident.

Most noteworthy were the proficiency ratings in 5th grade Science where Citrus County scored 11% higher than the state and ranked 5th out of 67 counties, in 3rd-8th grade Mathematics where Citrus County scored 8% higher than the state, and in Algebra 1 where Citrus County scored 7% higher than the state.

Many Citrus schools made significant gains over last year which contributed to the district’s overall achievements.

  • Floral City Elementary School’s 4th grade ELA scores improved 29%
  • Forest Ridge Elementary School’s 4th grade Math scores improved 15%
  • Crystal River High School’s Algebra 1 scores improved 20%
  • Lecanto High School’s Algebra 2 scores improved 19%
  • Inverness Middle School’s Civics scores improved 19%
  • Crystal River Middle School’s 8th grade Science scores improved 14%
  • Crystal River Primary School’s 5th grade Science scores improved 24%.

Florida Commissioner of Education, Pam Stewart, applauded Citrus County for their continued success and in particular for improvements in Algebra 2, Civics, and Algebra 1.

  • Increased seven percentage points in both Algebra 2 and Civics.
  • Improved by six percentage points for students younger than high school age in Algebra 1, with 91 percent of students scoring Level 3 or higher.
  • Increased five percentage points for high school students in Algebra 1.
