The Florida Department of Education recently released the 2023-24 School and District Grades for Orange County Public Schools.
Overall, OCPS earned an “A” grade and no local Orlando schools received a school grade of “F.” The school district celebrated the news ahead of the upcoming school year.
“I’m so proud of the work by our students, teachers, principals, administrators, support staff and parents. It is truly a combined effort,” said Superintendent Maria Vazquez. “While a single letter grade does not tell the whole story of our schools or school district, we are very pleased with the gains.
The number of “A” traditional schools in OCPS continues to rise with 88 traditional schools earning an “A” in 2023-24 compared to 77 in 2022-23. The percentage of traditional schools earning an “A” increased to 43 percent, up from 38 percent in 2022-23.
The percentage of traditional schools earning an “A” or “B” this year increased to 69 percent, compared to 62 percent in 2022-23. No schools in OCPS received a school grade of F.
“We are committed to student success and making data-driven decisions,” Superintendent Maria Vazquez added. “This year’s progress monitoring assessments allowed that to happen in a way that benefited our students. Congratulations, to the fabulous OCPS team on a job well done!”
