How We Grade
Florida’s Education Report Card grades legislators on their efforts to improve the quality of education in the Sunshine State. By grading lawmakers on a scale of A – F, just like students and schools, Florida’s Education Report Card gives the public a clear and comprehensive assessment of who is keeping the promise of a quality education in the Sunshine State.
Principles
The Foundation for Florida’s Future measures reforms based on seven core principles:
- Rigorous Academic Standards
- Measurement of Proficiency and Progress
- Data-Driven Accountability
- Effective Teachers and Leaders
- Outcome-Based Funding
- School Choice
- Digital Learning
Methodology
Grades are based on legislators’ voting records and demonstrations of leadership.
