FCAT: About half of school district reads, adds or writes on grade level

   July 26, 2013

The Florida Public School District grades are in. Escambia County remains a “C” district. The FCAT scores show that about half of its students aren’t reading, writing or performing math on their grade levels–which isn’t much different than last year. Writing is down, but that has to do with the new standards.

A bright spot for the county is science.
