5. 2011-2012 School Report Card

6. 2010-2011 FCAT Performance Points (High Schools)

7. 2010-2011 High School Accountability Points • Please Note: • All components are percentages. Those components weighted twice as much as others reflect a calculated percentage that is doubled (e.g., School X has a 75% at risk graduation rate – School X earns 150 points (75*2) for that component in Version A). • As recommended by the Central Florida Coalition, initially, acceleration participation will be weighted twice as much as acceleration performance. However over a 5 (or 3) year period, the weighting will be adjusted so that eventually both participation and performance will be weighted equally (150 points each). • All component values are capped at their maximum values. That is, if a school earns points in excess of the total for a particular component – through the growth adjustment or the escalating weights in the acceleration components – the school will receive the maximum points for that component.
