Welcome to University High School!
A Magnet School Of Distinction
Hello Cougars and Cougar Families!
Earlier this morning, the Florida Department of Education released the 2023-2024 School Grades. This past year also saw the re-introduction of student learning gains as part of the school grade acountability process. Therefore, high schools grades are based off of ten overall components once again. These components are English/Language Arts proficiency, English/Language Arts Learning Gains, English/Language Arts Learning Gains for our Lowest 25% of students, Math Proficiency, Math Learning Gains, Math Learning Gains for our Lowest 25% of students, Science proficiency through Biology courses, Social Studies proficiency through U.S. History courses, Graduation Rate, and Acceleration Rate. The FLDOE also introduced updated school grade metrics this year to mathc the reintroducation of learning gains.
I am thrilled to let you know that University High School's academic success continues to increase. UHS currently has a B school grade as we have earned 63% of all possible points. This past year saw our Algebra 1, ELA 10, and U.S. History proficiency be maintained as compared to the prior school year while ELA 9 increased proficiency by 3%, Geometry increased proficiency by 6%, and Biology increased proficiency by 5%. Overall, UHS improved ovall Math profciency by 9% and mainted overall ELA profiency at 53%.
I am extremely proud of the work that our Staffulty put into our students and their success once again this year. While our school grades are a point of emphasis and pride, they certainly do not tell the whole story of the time and effort that Staffulty put into supporting our students. There is no finer school in all of Florida and I want to thank every member of our Staffulty who contributed to our success this year. I can't wait to see what the 2024-2025 school year brings!
