At a Glance
In 2011-12, the fifth year of implementation of the Florida
Career and Professional Education Act, school districts registered
1,511 high school and 56 middle school career and professional
academies, representing all 67 of Floridas school districts. This
study found the following regarding enrollment patterns and student
performance:
The most frequent career cluster represented by academies was
Information Technology with 284 registered academies followed by
Health Sciences with 224 academies.
High school academy students were most likely to be
tenth-graders compared to the non-academy population, which is
over-represented by ninth-graders.
The distribution of students by race and gender among academy
students was similar to that of non-academy students.
Among the 185,414 high school students enrolled in career and
professional academies, 38,209 or 20.6 percent, were reported as
having earned one or more approved industry certifications going
back to the 2008-09 school year.
In the 2011-12 school year, 28,533 high school academy students
earned 32,004 certifications with a pass rate of 84.3 percent.
Middle school academy students had lower average GPAs while high
school academy students had higher average GPAs than their
non-academy counterparts.
Middle school academy students were more likely to have been
chronically absent than non-academy students while high school
academy students were less likely than their peers to have
exhibited absenteeism.
There was no clear pattern indicating that academy students were
more or less likely to have been subjected to disciplinary action
than non-academy students.
High school academy students were less likely to have dropped
out of school than non-academy students.
High school academy students were more likely to take Advanced
Placement or dual enrollment courses than their non-academy
counterparts.
Academy participation and, more clearly, the earning of industry
certifications are correlated with higher student performance among
high school students.
Academy and industry certification earner graduates outperformed
the overall average high school population with a higher placement
rate in employment or postsecondary education.
Over the course of three years, the 2008-09 graduate cohort of
industry certification earners showed higher earnings than the
average high school graduate.
Introduction
According to Section 1003.492(3), Florida Statutes (F.S.), the
Florida Department of Education (DOE) shall conduct an annual
analysis of student participation and performance in industry
certified secondary career and technical programs authorized by the
Career and Professional Education Act. Performance indicators for
students enrolled in career and professional academies (also
referred to as CAPE academies or simply academies in this report)
include, but are not limited to, graduation rates, retention rates,
Florida Bright Futures Scholarship awards,
-

additional educational attainment, employment records, earnings,
industry certification, and employer satisfaction. The results of
this study shall be submitted to the President of the Senate and
the Speaker of the House of Representatives annually by December
31.
Background
In 2007 the Florida Legislature passed the Career and
Professional Education Act. The purpose of the Act was to provide a
statewide planning partnership between the business and education
communities in order to attract, expand, and retain targeted,
high-value industry and to sustain a strong, knowledge-based
economy. The objectives of the Act are as follows:
To improve middle and high school academic performance by
providing rigorous and relevant curriculum opportunities;
To provide rigorous and relevant career-themed courses that
articulate to postsecondary-level coursework and lead to industry
certification;
To support local and regional economic development; To respond
to Florida's critical workforce needs; and To provide state
residents with access to high-wage and high-demand careers.
To implement the legislation, the Act created statewide
partnerships among the Department of Education, the Department of
Economic Opportunity (DEO), and Workforce Florida, Inc. (WFI). S.
1003.491(2), F.S., requires that each district school board develop
a five-year strategic plan to address and meet local and regional
workforce demands. This plan must be developed in collaboration
with a districts local workforce board and local postsecondary
institutions. A required element in this plan was the provision for
at least one operational career and professional academy per school
district, pursuant to s. 1003.492(2), F.S., by the beginning of the
2008-09 school year. Career and Professional Academies
A career and professional academy is a research-based program
that integrates a rigorous academic curriculum with an
industry-specific curriculum aligned directly to priority workforce
needs established by regional workforce boards. According to s.
1003.493(4), F. S., each career and professional academy must:
1) Provide a rigorous standards-based academic curriculum
integrated with a career theme;
2) Include one or more partnerships with postsecondary
institutions, businesses, industry, employers, economic development
organizations, or other appropriate partners from the local
community;
3) Provide shared, maximum use of private sector facilities and
personnel; 4) Provide personalized student advisement; 5) Promote
and provide opportunities for students to earn Bright Futures
Scholarships; 6) Provide instruction in high-growth, high-demand,
and high-pay careers; 7) Deliver instruction relevant to the
applicable career, including intensive reading and
mathematics intervention;
-

8) Offer applied courses that combine academic content with
technical skills; 9) Provide instruction resulting in competency,
certification, or credentials in workplace
skills; 10) Include a plan to sustain career and professional
academies; and 11) Redirect appropriated career funding to career
and professional academies.
Districts are required to annually register with the DOE career
and professional academies that meet the requirements of s.
1003.493, F.S., during 30-plus day reporting windows between July
15 and September 15 (high school academies) and September 16 and
October 15 (middle school academies). Superintendents certify that
each registered academy meets all of the requirements in statute.1
Industry Certifications A key component of this Act is a focus on
industry certifications that are critical to Floridas employers.
The legislation tasked the DEO with defining Industry
Certification. The Departments definition was the following:
A voluntary process, through which individuals are assessed by
an independent, third-party certifying entity using predetermined
standards for knowledge, skills and competencies, resulting in the
award of a time-limited credential that is nationally recognized
and applicable to an occupation that is included in the workforce
systems targeted occupation list or determined to be an occupation
that is critical, emerging or addresses a local need.
The Act required that DOE develop and adopt rules for
implementing an industry certification process as an essential
element of implementing the new law. The process described in Rule
6A-6.0573, Florida Administrative Code, has two stages. In the
first stage, WFI produces an annually updated list of industry
certifications that ensure skill proficiency, address emerging
labor market and industry needs, and are based on the highest
available national standards. This list is reviewed and approved by
the WFI board and must be annually published according to the
requirements of s. 1003.492(2), F.S. This list is known as the
Comprehensive Industry Certification List and is published annually
on March 1.
From this comprehensive list, the Department of Education
develops the Industry Certification Funding List in the second
stage of the process. This list is a subset of items on the
Comprehensive Industry Certification List, based on the following
criteria:
1) The certification must be achievable by students in a
secondary-level program; 2) The certification must require a
minimum of 150 hours of instruction; and 3) The certification must
have been offered for at least one year in a school district.
The
Commissioner of Education may waive the one-year requirement
when failure to do so would inhibit preparation of students for
emerging workforce opportunities.

Funding Incentives
For each student enrolled in a registered career and
professional academy who earns a certification on the Industry
Certification Funding List and graduates with a high school
diploma, the district of instruction may earn add-on full-time
equivalent (FTE) student membership for the following years funding
calculation in the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP).2
Certifications earned through dual enrollment are not eligible for
additional FTE. Before July 1, 2011, the additional FTE was 0.3 per
student (i.e., no repeat allocations for additional
certifications). The law was amended in 2011 to require the State
Board of Education adopt annual weights for each industry
certification that would yield 0.1, 0.2, or 0.3 add-on FTE. The
criteria are based equally on rigor and employment value. By rule,
rigor is defined as the number of instructional hours, plus work
experience hours, with a bonus for certifications with a statewide
articulation agreement. Employment value is based on average annual
openings, growth rate, and entry wage for the primary occupation
linked to the certification. These new weights will be implemented
for the 2012-13 FEFP calculation. Data reported for 2010-11 was
used for the 2011-12 FEFP calculation. For the 2011-12 FEFP, 9,881
students who graduated in 2010-11 generated 2,964.42 additional FTE
in the K-12 funding formula. The estimated value of this FTE in the
FEFP calculation is about $10.3 million. Accountability An
accountability mechanism included in the Act requires that 50
percent of students taking industry certification exams in a career
and professional academy course must pass the exam or discontinue
enrollment of new students in the academy the following year and
each year thereafter until the pass rate reaches at least 50
percent. The law was amended in 2011, striking requirements related
to pass rates for college-level coursework and a certification
pass-rate threshold that increased to 66 percent. The consequences
of not meeting the threshold were amended as well. Formerly,
academies failing to meet the 66 percent threshold in year three
could no longer offer the certification.
Middle School Academies
Changes to the law in 2011 required each school district to plan
the development of at least one middle school CAPE academy.3 Middle
school academies must:
1) Be aligned with at least one high school CAPE academy offered
in the district and maintain partnerships with local business and
industry and economic development boards;
2) Provide instruction in courses leading to careers in
occupations designated as high growth, high demand, and high
wage;
3) Offer courses that integrate content from core subjects; 2
Section 1011.62(1)(o), Florida Statutes 3 Section 1003.4935,

4) Offer courses that integrate career content with intensive
reading and mathematics; 5) Maximize opportunities for students to
earn high school credit; 6) Provide access to virtual instruction
courses; 7) Provide instruction from teachers certified in the
career subject matter; 8) Offer externships; and 9) Provide
personalized student advisement.
Scope
This analysis addresses the following questions:
1) How many career and professional academies are there, and
where are they located? 2) How many students are enrolled in career
and professional academies, and what are
their characteristics? 3) How many and what type of industry
certifications have career and professional
academy students earned? 4) How did career and professional
academy students perform academically compared
to other high school students? 5) What were the postsecondary
and employment placement outcomes for career and
professional academy graduates?
Method
Data were extracted from the DOE Student Information System for
academic year 2011-12 (Survey 5 as of October 23, 2012).4 Data on
career and professional academy characteristics are from the DOE
academy registration database. Data on schools housing academies
was obtained from the Florida School Indicators Report. Data on
employment and postsecondary enrollment was obtained from the
Florida Education and Training Placement Information Program
(FETPIP).
Findings
Profile of Career and Professional Academies
In academic year 2011-12, 1,511 high school career and
professional academies registered in Florida, and 1,453 (96.2
percent) of these academies reported student enrollments. In
2011-12, there were 56 registered middle school academies, and 16
(28.6 percent) of these academies reported student enrollments.
Given that it was the first year for middle school academies, there
may have been some data reporting problems that resulted in a low
rate of enrollment. All of Floridas 67 school districts registered
at least one career and professional academy with DOE. The five
districts with the most registered academies (high school and
middle school) were Hillsborough (312 academies), Miami-Dade (187),
Broward (121), Palm Beach (98), Sarasota (68), and Clay (54). Table

Characteristics of Schools that House Academies When compared on
other indicators, high schools with at least one academy were very
similar to those with no academies. The percentage of students who
were economically disadvantaged7 was 49.7 percent among high
schools with at least one academy and high schools with no
academies. The percentage of chronically absent students was
slightly lower in academy high schools (14.4 percent) than
non-academy high schools (14.6 percent).8 The percentage of
students who were English language learners among academy high
schools (4.7 percent) was nearly identical to that of non-academy
high schools (4.6 percent).9 Middle schools with at least one
academy were also similar to non-academy middle schools when
compared on these indicators. The percentage of students who were
economically disadvantaged among middle schools with at least one
academy was 52.3 percent compared to 54.5 percent among middle
schools with no academies. The percentage of chronically absent
students was higher in academy middle schools (12.9 percent) than
among non-academy middle schools (11.0 percent). The percentage of
students who were English language learners among academy middle
schools (3.0 percent) was lower than that of non-academy middle
schools (5.8 percent). For a listing of indicators for each school
with at least one academy, see Appendix A. Academy Curriculum The
curricular foci of registered academies fall under specific career
clusters. A career cluster is a broad group of related occupations
based on commonalities in knowledge and skills required to perform
job tasks. The most frequent career cluster represented by
academies registered in 2011-12 was Information Technology with 274
high school and 10 middle school academies (see Table 2). The
second most frequent cluster represented was Health Sciences with
221 high school and 3 middle school registered academies.

Performance of Career and Professional Academy Students
This section addresses the performance of career and
professional academy students. The indicators addressed include the
following:
1) The number and percentage of academy students obtaining
industry certifications; 2) Cumulative grade point average of
academy and non-academy students; 3) Student engagement indicators
of academy and non-academy students including chronic
absenteeism, disciplinary actions, and dropout rates; and 4)
Postsecondary readiness as indicated by the percentage of academy
and non-academy
participation in Advanced Placement and dual enrollment courses
and eligibility for Florida Bright Futures Scholarships.
Performance levels on these indicators are reported at the
aggregate state-level, summing up all academy and non-academy
students statewide. Performance levels for each registered high
school and middle school academy can be found in Appendices B1 and
B2, respectively. Industry Certification Among the 185,414 high
school students enrolled in career and professional academies,
38,209 or 20.6 percent were reported as having earned one or more
approved industry certifications in their high school careers going
back to the 2008-09 school year; 28,533 students earned
certifications in 2011-12 alone. A total of 37,965 assessments were
attempted by academy students in 2011-12, of which 32,004 were
passed, resulting in a pass rate of 84.3 percent. Among the 87
different certifications attempted by academy students in 2011-12,
the top three were Adobe Certified Associate (Photoshop), Adobe
Certified Associate (Dreamweaver), and Microsoft Office Specialist
(MOS) Bundle (see Table 5). Among the 37,965 certification attempts
by academy students, 946 or 2.5 percent were weight-level 3.0.
Weight-level 1.0 was most commonly attempted representing 55.3
percent of attempts followed by weight-level 2.0, which represented
42.2 percent of all certification attempts by academy students.

professional academy students in 2011-12 had a lower average
cumulative GPA compared to the non-academy middle school population
(see Table 8). High school academy students, however, had a higher
average GPA than non-academy students across all grade levels 9

Source: DOE Student Information System Student Engagement Career
and professional academies were conceived as a way to offer a
relevant curriculum to students. Student engagement can be measured
through rates of absenteeism, disciplinary actions, graduation, and
dropping out of school. Middle school academy students were more
likely to be chronically absent than non-academy middle school
students (see Table 9).11 Among high schools students, which
represents the vast majority of academy students, chronic
absenteeism was less prevalent than among non-academy students
across grades 9 through 12.
11 Chronically absent is defined as 21 or more unexcused
absences for the academic year.

Academy students were less likely to drop out than non-academy
students, and academy seniors were more likely to graduate with a
standard diploma than non-academy seniors. Among academy 12th
graders, 88.7 percent graduated with a standard diploma compared to
74.1 percent among non-academy 12th graders. The one-year dropout
rate for academy students grades 9-12 (0.8 percent) was 1.3
percentage points lower than that of non-academy students (see
Table 11) and was lower across all grade levels.

Source: DOE Student Information System Postsecondary Readiness
and Employment Academy students were slightly more likely to be
eligible for Bright Futures Scholarships
and have taken accelerated courses than non-academy students. An
important goal of career and professional academies is to prepare
students for postsecondary education by making them ready for the
academic and technical work and giving them opportunities to earn
postsecondary credit while in high school. One indicator of
readiness for success in postsecondary education is eligibility for
the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship. Among the academy seniors
in 2011-12, 23.5 percent were eligible for one of the three levels
of the Bright Futures Scholarship. In comparison, 21.1 percent of
non-academy seniors were eligible for the Bright Futures
Scholarship. Academy seniors earning certifications were much more
likely to be Bright Futures Scholarship eligible than their peers.
Among academy seniors who earned at least one industry
certification, 31.7 percent were eligible for Bright Futures
compared to 19.5 percent among academy seniors who did not earn a
certification. An indicator of postsecondary readiness is
enrollment in accelerated courses (i.e., Advanced Placement, dual
enrollment, International Baccalaureate, and Advanced International
Certificate of Education courses). Among academy high school
students, 28.3 percent took one or more accelerated courses during
the 2011-12 academic year. In comparison, the percentage for
non-academy students was 24.8 percent. Post-Graduation Outcomes
Placement data for the 2008-09, 2009-10, and 2010-11 graduate
cohorts indicate that academy graduates are more likely than the
average high school graduate to be found either employed or

enrolled in postsecondary education and, in turn, graduates who
earned industry certifications are more likely to have been placed
than the average academy graduate (see Table 12).12 Because
industry certification earners appear in the academy cohort and
vice versa, firm conclusions cannot be drawn through this analysis
alone, but the data do suggest that academy participation and, more
clearly, industry certification, are correlated with and possibly
influence positive post-graduation placement.

Sources: DOE Student Information System and Florida Education
& Training Placement Information System Data on average
earnings over time of high school graduates indicates that industry
certification may be correlated with higher earnings than those of
the overall high school population. Exhibit 1 below shows the
average estimated earnings (based on one quarter of data) of
2008-09 high school graduates found employed and earning a total
dollar amount greater than the equivalent of working 40 hours a
week for the full quarter earning the minimum wage. While academy
and industry certification graduates initially earned less, on
average, than the general high school population, by the third year
academy graduates closed the gap and industry certification earners
surpassed the overall average.
12 The outcome data have limitations. Regarding employment data,
graduates employed outside the state of Florida would not be found
unless they are in the military or working for the federal
government. Some types of workers, e.g. self-employed, are not in
the database. No assumptions can be made regarding occupation or
wages. Regarding postsecondary placement, graduates enrolled
outside the state would not be found.

and Professional Academy Participants to Industry Certification
Earners In Table 14 below, career and professional academy students
and their comparison group peers are disaggregated by industry
certification attainment to isolate the characteristics of academy
students and industry certification earners independently. The
table includes high school students only because of the relatively
small enrollments in the new middle school academies, and four of
the indicators are not relevant for middle school students
(dropout, graduation, acceleration, and Bright Futures
eligibility). The table shows a general trend that, as one moves
from left (non-CAPE student without certification) to the rightmost
column (CAPE student with certification), the performance
indicators tend to improve with few exceptions. Both CAPE
participants and non-CAPE students who earn certifications
performed at a higher level than their non-certified peers.

Five-Year Trends
The number of registered career and professional academies grew
from 246 in 2007-08 to 1,567 in 2011-12 (see Table 15). The
percentage of Florida high school students enrolled in career and
professional academies grew from 2.2 percent to 21.5 percent. The
number of academy students earning industry certifications grew
from 803 in 2007-08 to 28,533 in 2011-12. As the program ramped up,
the pass rate of academy students taking certification exams
dropped considerably from 85.7 percent in 2007-08 to 59.6 percent
in 2009-10, but rose to 84.3 percent by 2011-12.

Conclusion
In the fifth year of implementation, the number of career and
professional academies and enrolled students continued to grow
across the state, and a change to the law opened a new frontier:
middle schools. Academy students on average performed better than
non-academy students on most indicators, and students with industry
certifications clearly performed better on all the indicators in
this report than non-certified students. Placement data of academy
participant and industry certification earner graduates indicate
that academy graduates were slightly more likely to be found
employed or in postsecondary education and were earning, on
average, about the same as the average high school graduate.
Graduates earning industry certifications showed consistently
higher performance in their placement rate and earnings over
time.
