*Three traditional schools (2 elementary and 1 middle/combination) and five charter middle/combination schools were assigned "I" grades in the FDOE's preliminary release of school grades. An "I" grade indicates that the FDOE is not able to accurately evaluate the accountability rating based on the available data. Does not include high school grades, which are anticipated in December 2014.
