Can you help me understand the top performing school districts section? UF and FSU Lab Schools aren't districts but two single K-12 schools. And while they aren't technically charter schools, there is still an application process, possibly limited bus transportation (The same characteristics that might skew charter data). I'd be interested to see how the data shakes out without lab schools!
