🦈🎉 There’s a lot to celebrate in the Shark Tank today! 🎉🦈
This morning, the Florida Department of Education released the FY26 School Grades, and I am incredibly proud to share that Hidden Oaks Middle School has once again earned and maintained an A School Rating!
Even more exciting, HOMS improved by an impressive 42 points, increasing from 618 to 660 total points—our highest point total since 2012—while earning 73% of all possible points.
Our scholars and staff achieved outstanding gains across multiple accountability areas:
✅ ELA Achievement: 77% (+9%) – Highest since 2018
✅ ELA Learning Gains: 71% (+11%) – Highest since 2013
✅ ELA Lowest 25% Gains: 64% (+15%) – Highest since 2013
✅ Mathematics Achievement: 80% (+1%) – Highest since 2022
✅ Mathematics Lowest 25% Gains: 61% (+4%) – Highest since 2019
✅ Civics Achievement: 91% (+1%)
✅ Middle School Acceleration: 87% (+4%)
These accomplishments are not the result of a single day, week, or month. They are the product of the relentless dedication of our scholars, the unwavering commitment of our incredible teachers and staff, and the continued support of our families and community partners.
At Hidden Oaks, we believe in creating opportunities, building relationships, and ensuring every scholar has the support needed to succeed. Today's results are a reflection of that shared commitment and a testament to what can be achieved when an entire school community works together toward excellence.
Thank you to our scholars for your hard work, our staff for your passion and dedication, and our families and community for your continued partnership.
The future is bright in the Shark Tank, and we are proud to continue our tradition of excellence!
