This year we had over 4,200 Black high school students take honors or accelerated courses (Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, Advanced International Certificate of Education, Dual Enrollment).
Last year, for the first time in district history, the graduation gap between Black and Non-Black students was in the single digits, at 8.7 percentage points.
We continue to develop programs and ways of work to ensure all students have the tools needed to achieve success in college, career and life, and to ensure our staff has the knowledge and training to support all Pinellas County Schools’ students.
Although the 2019-20 school year was unprecedented in many ways, the momentum of our district and our students did not stop.
Location information is available at order to facilitate digital learning, district staff distributed over 26,000 computers to students without devices and provided free hotspots through generous support from the Pinellas Education Foundation and the Tampa Bay Resiliency Fund.
