School / Education Data
School dataGrading the schools
The 2007-08 state report card grades public schools and districts with one of six ratings. The new "excellent with distinction" grade is roughly the equivalent of an A+, and the others equate to A-F ratings: excellent, effective, continuous improvement, academic watch or academic emergency.
