The students tested at Florida State University School scored proficient or above: 72-76% in reading in 2021-22 and 83% in math in 2022-23, against 53% in reading in 2021-22 and 52.2% in math in 2022-23 across Florida. Each state writes its own test and sets its own proficiency bar, so compare these within Florida, not across states.

Where a state published results by grade only, the grades tested are combined, weighted by the students tested in each.
