K-12 Math in Florida

As K-12 achievement index is one of the ways to measure the success of an educational implementation in a state, former reports have shown that Florida continues to provide great K-12 education, resulting in high achievement standards. After maintaining 4th place in K-12 achievement for two consecutive years, Florida has successfully made it to the top 3 states in 2020. The state’s achievement grade also improved to B-, which is higher than the nation’s grade of C. Florida’s transition from Common Core to B.E.S.T Standards is underway, and K-12 math students are expected to make further progress in national rankings. Besides amending the standards, 18 school districts in Florida have participated in Districts for Impact to identify what’s working in one school district.
