Keystone Heights Elementary School was one of 11 Clay County schools recognized as schools of excellence during the November 5 school board meeting.
The designation is reserved for schools that score in the top 20% for school grade calculation, compared with other schools in the same grading group.
Schools of Excellence are granted certain administrative exemptions required under Florida law. For example, schools of excellence are not required to meet state classroom size requirements at the school level or to provide daily minimum reading instruction as dictated by state law or rule.
Superintendent David Broskie noted that Keystone Heights Elementary students scored eight percent above the state average in overall math proficiency.
