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!
Good question! For reporting purposes (for Florida but also the U.S. Dept of Ed), they are considered public school "districts" with their own district IDs (and thus included here), but certainly these have unique characteristics, as you note. Send us an email at info@eddatacenter.org and we'd be happy to share additional data/figures that might be helpful!
