7 Division of Public Schools (PreK -12) Florida Department of Education High School Accountability Points Please Note: All components are percentages. Those components weighted twice as much as others reflect a calculated percentage that is doubled (e.g., School X has a 75% at risk graduation rate – School X earns 150 points (75*2) for that component in Version A). As recommended by the Central Florida Coalition, initially, acceleration participation will be weighted twice as much as acceleration performance. However over a 5 (or 3) year period, the weighting will be adjusted so that eventually both participation and performance will be weighted equally (150 points each). All component values are capped at their maximum values. That is, if a school earns points in excess of the total for a particular component – through the growth adjustment or the escalating weights in the acceleration components – the school will receive the maximum points for that component.
