The above and school grades are based solely on scores.  While we are proud of our students test success, we know tests are only one measure to be considered when comparing or selecting schools. The overall purpose of most charter schools is to offer parents quality choices in FREE public education for their children. 

  

Other sites rank schools by scores PLUS other very important factors such as teacher qualifications, quality of curriculum, student attendance, diversity, etc.  You will find many who rank us among the highest in Florida public education using both verifiable data plus the opinion of community members, parents of former /current students/parents'  and testimonials from successful former students!
