Our local school districts are celebrating today.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The state\u2019s report cards are in, and both Broward County Public Schools and Miami-Dade County Public Schools retained their \u201cA\u201d grades.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As we heard from the superintendents, Jose Dotres at MDCPS and Howard Hepburn at BCPS, retaining the \u201cA\u201d rating is not easy. Doing it requires dedicated teachers and a data-driven approach to personalize instruction for every student.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThreepeat, that\u2019s all I gotta say, a threepeat, back to back to back A\u2019s, third year in a row!\u201d Hepburn said at a news conference today.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For Broward, the \u201cA\u201d grade is validation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is proof,\u201d said school board member Jeff Holness, \u201cThat academic excellence has become the standard at Broward County Public Schools.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSeven years in a row, our school district again is designated as an A-rated school district,\u201d Dotres said at his team\u2019s news conference. \u201cWe have the best product to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Miami-Dade, the \u201cA\u201d grade is proof, the superintendent says, that the district can compete with private and charter schools.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a school district that is offering choice to parents, choices to students, and we do not stop innovating because we know we have to compete,\u201d Dotres said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI support parents\u2019 opportunity to choose, they should have that right, but I support competition, and in a competitive environment, we\u2019re showing that we\u2019re the best,\u201d Hepburn added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Academic achievement is up. In Broward, nearly 70% of schools retained an \u201cA\u201d or improved a letter grade, 28 schools went from a \u201cB\u201d to and \u201cA,\u201d and seven jumped from \u201cC\u201d to \u201cA.\u201d There are no \u201cD\u201d or \u201cF\u201d schools in either district. Yet enrollment continues to drop and more schools will be closed next school year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s up to us to market and letting our families know that we are here and we have what you need if you\u2019re looking for a quality education,\u201d Hepburn said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miami-Dade presented a graphic showing how student achievement, not just school grades, has risen in every subject area since the pandemic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do have an elite team of educators making a difference in our classrooms every day,\u201d said school board chair Mari Tere Rojas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s responsible for the drop in enrollment? The superintendents cite a number of factors, which we have reported previously, including fewer babies being born, the high cost of living driving families out of South Florida, parents having more school choices, and immigration being severely curtailed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, in both counties, the vast majority of kids still attend traditional, \u201cA\u201d rated public schools.<\/p>\n

Here are the individual grades for every school in Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach and Monroe counties<\/em>.<\/p>\n
