Reynolds Lane is awful! My daughter has drop a couple of her grades pretty low from what she had when she started coming here, & I have gotten no concerns or anything from her teacher at all. I am very disapointed on how much these teahers care for their students. Maybe its because he is a male teacher. My daughter came from loving going to school, to hating it. She gets bullied all the time, and no staff does anything at all about it. She came from Greenfield, & I guess they had me & my daughter pretty spoiled. I recieved monthly newsletters, there were constant activities for the children, teachers that are so wonderful & care for their kids as if they were their own, & staff take it very serious on supervising/maintaining secure safety for their children that attend there. I miss that very much, and Reynolds will never get my vote on being a good school. The principle is nice, but I don't believe he has any idea how poorly his staff's performance is. Not enough backbone there is seems. If you really care about your child's education and safety, look elsewhere, please. I am finally moving far enough to get my daughter into a different school, and thank God for that.

The new principal has a great concern for the students and seems like he is the right man for the job. I am pleased to be involved with this school.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Florida used the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT 2.0) to test students in grades 3 through 10 in reading, 3 through 8 in math, and in grades 5 and 8 in science. The FCAT 2.0 is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Florida. The FCAT 2.0 has 5 achievement levels, with level 1 being the lowest and level 5 the highest. Florida considers scores of level 3 and higher to be on or above grade level. The goal is for all students to score at or above level 3.

About the tests


Florida uses School Grades to measure the overall performance of a school each year on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). Each school is assigned a letter grade (A-F) based on three criteria: the overall performance on the FCAT, the percentage of eligible students who took the test, and whether or not students made progress in reading and math. The School Grades are calculated by adding points earned from each of the performance criteria listed above.
