I have 2 children currently attending Osceola and I could not be happier. They have helped us in so many ways right down to helping us find our childs learning disabilities and fine tuning the best study skill possible. I can honestly say that on any given day if I email a teacher with a question or concern they get back to me that day. They are open to my thoughts as well. I wish that they taught through the 6th grade. My youngest is doing great and preparing for the FCAT this year. I have only the best things to say about this school, the administration, teachers and staff. I like it so much that I am involved with the PTO and began subsitute teaching 4 years ago. Thank you Osceola for making this a learning experience for all of us.

My child has attended Osceola Elementary since kindergarten and will enter the 5th grade this year. Her learning experience at Osceola has been exceptional! Enough wonderful things cannot be said about the faculty and staff - they are the best in St. Johns County! Osceola goes beyond the academic and offers Chorus and Drama Clubs - which are not offered in any other elementary school in our district. This experience has been fantastic! Great parent involvment and a awesome PTO Board! Osceola is A+!

Osceola is a fantastic school. The Teachers and Staff work together to make learning fun, yet challenging for the students. I have seen great improvement in my childrens' academic growth as well as their social growth. The staff is very concerned with the safety of all of the children. Children do not leave campus with anyone that hasn't been proplerly identified and permission granted by the parent/guardian. The PTO staff is top notch and truly works hard to raise money, which directly benefits the students. I am very pleased with the progress that my children have made at Osceola.

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.
