Another "A" Grade for East Lake High School

East Lake Patch would like to give a huge "Patch-on-the-Back" to students, their teachers, parents and the staff at East Lake High School for a job well done.

East Lake High received an "A" grade for the 2011-2012 school year. 

Two Palm Harbor high schools now have bragging rights as well. East Lake High and Palm Harbor University High were the only two high schools in Pinellas County that received an "A" grades in the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 school years.

The state's high school grading system considers factors like FCAT scores, graduation rates, participation and performance in advanced coursework, and college and career readiness when computing the scores, according to Pinellas County Schools Superintendent Michael Grego.

“Our teachers and administrators are truly working to foster and maintain cultures of learning and continuous improvement in our schools where everyone, adults and students alike, values learning and growing,” said Grego.

Florida's Department of Education released the scores Dec. 21.
