Coral Springs public schools receive only A and B grades for the 2024–25 year in a major academic milestone
Coral Springs, Florida – In a major academic milestone for the city, every public school in Coral Springs has earned either an A or B grade for the 2024–25 school year, according to new data released Monday by the Florida Department of Education.
It’s the first time since 2011 that all Coral Springs schools have received top marks, highlighting the efforts of educators, students, and families across the community. Among the many standouts is Ramblewood Elementary, which made an impressive two-letter-grade leap from a C last year to an A — its first A rating since 2009.
The news comes as part of a broader statewide report that showcases educational progress in many parts of Florida. Officials at all levels are praising the improvements, particularly within Broward County Public Schools (BCPS), which oversees Coral Springs’ public institutions.
“This continued achievement not only validates the hard work within BCPS, but it also signals to families, businesses and the wider community that Broward County offers a top-tier public education system,” said Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Howard Hepburn.
In a press release, BCPS officials noted that 96% of all district-operated schools either maintained or improved their grade compared to last year. Across the district, 110 schools earned an A, 69 received a B, and 34 received a C. Importantly, no schools in the district earned a D or F — the second year in a row this has happened since Florida began issuing letter grades to schools.
Coral Springs elementary schools performed especially well. Alongside Ramblewood Elementary’s dramatic jump, both James S. Hunt and Coral Springs Elementary improved from a C to a B. These changes reflect the broader trend of rising academic performance across the region.
Middle schools in Coral Springs also stood out. Coral Springs Middle, Sawgrass Springs Middle, and Ramblewood Middle all earned A grades for the second consecutive year. Forest Glen Middle School continued its long-running success by securing a B for the 11th year in a row.
At the high school level, the results were just as strong. Coral Springs High, Coral Glades High, and J.P. Taravella High each advanced from a B to an A. Marjory Stoneman Douglas High remained consistent in its excellence, achieving an A for the 13th year in a row.
Coral Springs Charter School also maintained its high standard, earning an A once again – a distinction it has held every year since 2003.
Parents and educators in the city are celebrating the results, which represent years of sustained effort to improve learning environments and academic outcomes. The latest grades suggest that Coral Springs is not only bouncing back from past challenges but also becoming a model for school improvement in Florida.
While the ratings reflect past performance, they also raise the bar for the year ahead. For schools like Ramblewood Elementary, the challenge will be to maintain their new status — a challenge many in the school community appear ready to meet.
With a growing focus on innovation, personalized instruction, and student well-being, Coral Springs schools are signaling that they’re not just meeting expectations — they’re working to exceed them.
As Superintendent Hepburn noted, the latest results go beyond just grades on paper. They reflect trust, progress, and the power of a community that supports education at every level.
