Make Florida among the top 3 states in K-12 reading and math rankings

“Florida will lead the nation in education — top three in reading and math.”

Promise broken Promise Date: 01 Jan 2019 Promise Deadline: Indefinite

Promise Details

DeSantis pledged that Florida would achieve a top-3 national ranking in both NAEP reading and math performance during his governorship. He has pushed K-12 reforms and investments; Florida has improved scores, but ranking is still debated. Educational gains reported, but full promise not yet incontrovertibly met.

Why it is broken

Florida improved reading and math performance under DeSantis but did not reach consistent national top-3 ranking in both metrics. Literacy programs and standards reforms advanced, yet NAEP results show mixed progress. Promise rated as compromise by trackers.
