The Florida Department of Education is pleased to announce the release of the 2018-19 School, District and State Report Cards in the EduData Portal (http://edudata.fldoe.org).
School, district, and state report cards serve as a valuable resource for parents, educators and stakeholders by offering greater transparency into how Florida’s districts and schools are doing with regard to student achievement and success.
The 2018-19 Report Cards not only provide the 2018-19 performance data, but also contain several new features including a State Report Card; educator qualifications and equity; per-pupil expenditures; and national data. The department will continue to update information in the report cards as new data become available, as well as develop new enhancements based on user feedback received through the portal. News and updates about ongoing enhancements will be provided to those who subscribe through the portal.
Florida PTA is proud to host training workshops across the state to help parents and stakeholders greater insight into data and what it means for advocacy.

Growth Data: It Matters, and It’s Complicated
Throughout the months of September and October, Florida PTA was busy training and educating our leaders on the value of data found school, district, and state report cards. Partnered with the Florida Department of Education, we visited 11 counties with the goal of creating better awareness of where to find data, why it’s important, and how to use that data to better advocate for our students.
