The Clay County School District's Regular School Board Meeting on June 26, 2025, highlighted significant achievements in student performance across various subjects, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics.

During the meeting, officials discussed the latest student achievement results, noting that while some scores are still pending, preliminary data indicates strong progress. In ELA, Clay County students ranked well above the state average, with notable improvements across grade levels. For instance, Keystone Heights High School saw a 10-point increase in tenth-grade scores, while Lake Asbury Elementary reported a remarkable 24-point rise. These results reflect the effectiveness of the district's reading initiatives, which have laid a solid foundation for literacy.

In mathematics, the district also performed admirably, ranking tenth in the state overall. Notably, OPE Elementary School achieved the highest math scores in Florida, and sixth graders from the district ranked fifth statewide. This success is attributed to a structured intervention program that has consistently supported students in both reading and math.

The meeting also acknowledged impressive gains in science, with the district ranking ninth in the state. Schools like Keystone Heights and Spring Park reported significant increases in biology pass rates, nearing 90%.

Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to enhancing student achievement and the positive impact of targeted educational strategies. As the school year progresses, officials remain focused on maintaining this momentum and addressing areas that require further improvement.
