Hendry County School District says it achieved ‘‘highest academic growth’’; praises Labelle High ninth‑grade academy
Summary
A Hendry County School District staff member announced the district recorded its highest academic growth to date and highlighted progress at Labelle High School’s ninth‑grade academy; the district did not provide specific metrics.
A Hendry County School District staff member announced at the meeting that the district achieved the "highest academic growth Hendry County has ever seen," and highlighted progress at the ninth‑grade academy at Labelle High School.
"Celebrating a historic year of academic growth. What an incredible year it's been for Hendry County School District. We're thrilled to announce that we've achieved the highest academic growth Hendry County has ever seen," the staff member said, crediting "the dedication and hard work of our amazing staff and teachers across all our schools."
The staff member also singled out the district’s Labelle High School program, saying, "We're especially proud of the unbelievable progress of the ninth grade academy at Labelle High School, which is another shining example of our educators impact." The district did not specify which assessments, grade‑level measures, or time frame underlie the growth claim.
District remarks also included an end‑of‑school message: "A huge thank you to everyone for your incredible contributions and for making this a year of unprecedented success. Have a safe, happy, and restful summer. We can't wait to see you back for the next school year." That closing comment was part of the same announcement and was presented as district staff commentary rather than a board action or vote.
No formal metrics, evaluation reports, board votes, budget changes, or implementation steps were presented in the recorded remarks.
