There are 25 elementary schools
within the City. To decide which schools would receive new classes,
experts in early childhood education were consulted. They
established a weighted ranking system to prioritize schools, based
upon: the percentage of students who qualified for free and reduced
lunch, school FCAT scores, the percentage of children for whom
English was a second language, and the gap between the number of
pre-kindergarten and kindergarten classrooms at each school. The
chart below shows the priority ranking of the City’s 25 elementary
schools:
