Hollywood Central Elementary

School is proud

to be an “A” School.

Schools are assigned a grade based primarily upon student achievement date from the FACT. School grades communicate to the public how well a school is performing relative to state standards. School grades are calculated based on annual learning gains of each student toward achievement of Sunshine State Standards, the progress of the lowest quartile of students, and the meeting of proficiency standards.

School grades utilized a point system. Schools are awarded one point for each percent of students who score high on the FCAT and/or make annual learning gains.
