School grades released.

After an anxious wait, Florida public school officials finally got their grades. The fear of closing has vanished for many, as most schools in Broward and Palm Beach Counties received A's and B's.

This is a vast improvement as compared to 1999, when the grading system was implemented. While some schools fell in rank, others made drastic improvements. According to reports in The Sun-Sentinel, only about one percent of Florida schools got F.

The results as a whole are commendable and one must raise one's hat to those schools that shined in 2006.
