Florida's grading law defines Palm Pointe's letter as excellent progress, and it lets a school that earns an A have greater authority over how its total budget is allocated.

In section 1008.34 the five letters run from A, schools making excellent progress, down to F, schools failing to make adequate progress (section 1008.34, Florida Statutes). For a school such as Palm Pointe in Port St. Lucie, the same subsection says a school earning an A, or improving at least two letter grades, may be given greater authority over how it allocates its total budget, which the statute lists as generated from the FEFP, state categoricals, lottery funds, grants and local funds.

The Palm Pointe row in the FLDOE file has letters only in its 2026 and 2025 columns; the cells for 2024 and every earlier year are empty for this Port St. Lucie school (FLDOE file, Palm Pointe grade columns).
