Coral Springs Public Schools post wave of A grades in new 2025-26 state report showing major academic improvement across the city
Coral Springs, Florida – A new round of state school grades has placed Coral Springs education in the spotlight, with most public schools in the city now earning top marks in the 2025-26 Florida Department of Education report released this week. Out of 20 public schools within city limits, the majority are now rated an A, marking a broad shift upward across all levels of learning.
The results reflect steady improvement over several years, with several schools making noticeable jumps from mid-range ratings into the highest category. In many cases, schools that once held a C rating have climbed to an A, signaling consistent academic gains and stronger overall performance across subjects.
Three high schools stand out in that transformation. Coral Springs High School, J.P. Taravella High School, and Coral Glades High School have all shown major progress. Coral Springs High School rose from a C four years ago to an A today. J.P. Taravella followed a similar path, while Coral Glades High School advanced from a C to an A in just three years.
These shifts are significant in a community where school ratings often play a role in housing decisions and neighborhood perception. A change from C to A can reshape how families view a school zone, especially in areas where school quality is closely tied to long-term community planning and property value trends.
The upward trend is not limited to high schools. Elementary schools across Coral Springs also posted strong gains. Ramblewood Elementary School and Coral Springs Elementary School each moved from a C to an A within two years, showing rapid improvement in student performance and academic outcomes. James S. Hunt Elementary School followed the same trajectory, reaching an A in just two years as well.

Middle schools in the city reflected a similar pattern of steady advancement. Coral Springs Middle School, Ramblewood Middle School, and Sawgrass Springs Middle School each climbed from a B to an A within the past two years. Forest Glen Middle School also joined that group this year, completing its own transition from a B to an A.
At the same time, several schools have maintained consistent high performance over a longer period. Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Country Hills Elementary School, Eagle Ridge Elementary School, Park Springs Elementary School, and Riverside Elementary School have all held an A rating for at least five consecutive years, showing sustained academic stability.
While most schools moved upward or held steady, one school saw a slight decline. Coral Park Elementary School moved from an A to a B after maintaining an A rating for two years. Even so, the school remains above the statewide baseline, as every public school in Coral Springs earned a B or higher in the latest report.
The Florida Department of Education bases school grades on a combination of academic performance measures. These include student test scores in reading, math, science, and social studies, along with learning gains and graduation rates for high schools. The system is designed to reflect both achievement and year-over-year progress.
Taken together, the results show a city-wide trend of academic improvement. From elementary classrooms to high school campuses, Coral Springs schools are increasingly clustered at the top of the grading scale, with most now sitting firmly in the A range.
For families, educators, and city residents, the latest report reinforces a consistent message: Coral Springs schools are not just maintaining standards, but in many cases actively climbing them.
