CHALLENGES AHEAD• “The numbers of failing schools rose 68 percent to a record

178 schools statewide — in part because of the quirks of the state’s complicated grading formula.” - The Miami Herald: July, 2014

• “The number of F schools also increased — there are now 178, up from 106 last year. “ – Tampa Tribune: July 2014

• Despite the rise in D and F schools in the state over the past three years, the rate at the district is lower.

• From 2011 to 2014, the number of D and F schools in the state nearly tripled (192%) and in Duval the increase was only 144%
