Of the 53,258 Pinellas County students who took part in the 2022-23 school year FAST, 39.9% met the testing standard while 10.4% exceeded expectations, according to the Florida Department of Education.

Pinellas County's proficiency level in the 2022-23 school year was 50.3%, 0.4% higher than the state's average of 49.9%.

During the 2022-23 school year, St. Johns County students fared the best on the ELA portion of the FSA, with 70.5% of them succeeding. Meanwhile Jefferson County students did worst on ELA, with 28.1% of the students passing the test.

There were 93,639 students enrolled in Pinellas County schools in the 2022-23 school year.

According to WalletHub's analysis, Florida is ranked 9th out of 50 states in terms of its public school quality and safety.

In 2022, Florida had more than 2,8 million students enrolled in a total of 4,202 schools. There were 163,558 teachers in the public schools, or roughly one teacher for every 17 students, compared to the national average of 1:16.

While Florida public school students saw gains in math on the 2022-2023 FAST, their performance in ELA was slightly lower than in the previous school year. Math scores remained around 55% success rate, while ELA scores hovered around 50%.

In 2022, Florida replaced the paper-based FSA with the computer-based Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST). Administered three times a year between kindergarten and 10th grade, the FAST is supposed to provide a faster and more individualized feedback on students’ performance than its predecessor.
