While the Florida Department of Education has come out with a
numerical ranking of the state’s 67 school districts based on FCAT
scores, Gadsden County has made quantifiable progress that presents a
significantly better picture.
By some measures, the district is having what may be its best year
ever in terms of student achievement and overall school performance.
Superintendent Reginald James has questioned the state's ranking, as
have other Florida school district superintendents.
