Congratulations to Grady Elementary students, teachers and parents for Grady's spectacular performance on both the Stanford Achievement Test (“SAT”) and the Florida Standards Assessment  (“FSA”).  In 2016, Grady turned in overall FSA scores that ranked second in the entire Hillsborough County School District, which includes 154 elementary schools.  Grady was number 1 among all elementary schools in the competitive Area 1 (South Tampa) zone.  On the SAT, Grady ranked 1st in both reading and math for first grade, and 6th on both reading and math for second grade.

The test results and rankings demonstrate that Grady students are displaying mastery of the curriculum and national educational standards.  The results show that Grady teachers are effectively communicating the curriculum, working with students to develop the skills to master the curriculum and that students are able to demonstrate the skills and knowledge imparted by their teachers.  The results show that our children are experiencing educational success.  Congratulations to all who have made these wonderful results possible.
