The A+ School Recognition Program acknowledges schools that are achieving and showing improvement. All of Florida's public schools received report cards with grades on an "A" through "F" scale. The program recognizes schools that have improved at least one letter grade or received an "A" for the 2004-05 school year. Schools that improve at least one grade or receive an "A" based primarily on student achievement are being rewarded with $100 per student.
