Dear Parents, Guardians, and Community Members,
When the Florida Department of Education released school grades in July, Rickards received an "I." According to Florida Statute, the "I " represented we did not test 95% of our required students. The District
appealed our 2021-2022 school grade.."
I am pleased to announce the Department of Education released our 2021-2022 school grade this week. The data revealed we
tested 94% of our students and received 50% of the points for a C letter grade, 38 points shy of a "B.
I want to thank all our students, teachers, parents, and community members as we continue to recover from
the learning loss of the COVID-19 pandemic. As we work with our students this year, we aim to ensure they have all the resources to succeed and move on to college, the workforce, or the military.
Sincerely,
Douglas Cook
