Among the standout schools are Key Biscayne K-8 Center and MAST Academy, both of which earned an “A” grade and continue to set the standard for educational achievement in the district.
The Florida Department of Education recently announced the Florida School Accountability Reports for the 2023-2024 year under the new school grading scale.
