Schools in the Tampa Bay Area
Great Schools in Florida
Schools in Florida are graded
according to how well students have mastered the Sunshine State
Standards. These standards are the skills Florida teachers determined
our children must learn at each grade level and are measured by the
Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) each school year. Schools
earn points based on student achievement and are assigned a grade at the
completion of each school year.
See our
Tampa Bay School Information page for more information on schools. Excellent schools have
had a positive impact on the Tampa Bay Florida lifestyle.
Pinellas County is situated in the middle of Florida's west coast and is home to more than 150,000
pre-kindergarten through adult public school students. Ranked first in the state,
Pinellas County Schools
have a lot to offer in terms of quality education experiences. Pinellas Schools
no longer participate in the School Choice Plan. Recent changes allow
students to attend a neighborhood school or apply for a magnet, fundamental, or
other school outside their zoned boundaries. Certain restrictions and
deadlines apply, so be sure to check with the school board at 727-586-1818.
