Important Info from the Official Website.
C. Leon King High School opened in 1960 with 58 staff members and 960 students. The school was named in honor of C. Leon King, a distinguished and respected member of the Hillsborough County Board of Public Instruction for 18 years.
King High School is a traditional/hybrid magnet. It has one of the three International Baccalaureate programs in Hillsborough County, Florida. The IB program of King began in July, 1993. Eighty-nine percent of IB seniors earned the IB Diploma in 2006--one of the highest rates in the United States.
Attendance rate in 2005 was 92%, and the Class of 2007 includes 24 National Merit semifinalists; Class of 2008 had the most National Merit finalists in the State of Florida.
Facts of interest: The King High School orchestral program has experienced great success in the last few years, and received a superior rating this year under a new director. The King Orchestra has maintained their status as the county's top orchestra program and was one of few schools in the state to receive straight superiors at State MPA.
The King High School Marching Lions have received straight superior ratings at Florida Bandmasters Association Marching Festival for 35 consecutive years.
The King High School National Honor Society is the largest chapter in the State of Florida.
Attractor programs include Culinary Arts, Teaching Academy, and King's relationship with the University of South Florida as a Professional Development School.
Students raised $104,132 for Relay For Life surpasing their initial goal of $96,000. Relay For Life is a night of festivities and fundraising to benefit cancer research and patients. King was the first high school in the nation to raise over $100,000. In 2008, King students raised $93,000.
King High School's Boys Swimming team won the 2005 academic award for all of Hillsborough County Swim Teams with an average GPA of 3.539.
In its first year, the Mock Trial Club was very successful, winning the two preliminary rounds at the FLREA district competition at the Edgecomb courthouse in downtown Tampa. They placed second overall in their district, with two "Best Attorney" and one "Best Witness" award for the three rounds they participated in, including the final against Riverview High School.
King High School is home to one of the best Junior State of America chapters in the Southeast, consistently winning awards for superior public speaking and debating.
King has been recognized by Newsweek Magazine as being among the top 10% of all high schools in America.
The Speech and Debate team always performs at high levels. At the "Winter Springs" invitational, every student that participated broke to an elimination round, and Laura Kaufman got first place in the state of Florida for International Extemporaneous Speaking. A week later, at the Yale Invitational, Stephanie Buchman broke to quarterfinals in Original Oratory and Mohammad Gardezi broke to quarterfinals in Mixed Extemporaneous Speaking.
Notable Alumni: Mayor Pam Iorio, Tim Crews; Derek Bell; Gary Koch; Calvin Pickering; Olympic Gold medalist 2nd baseman Ty Griffin; David Stamps; Seth Zalkin.

SAT Trends.
Summary - SAT Trends
Florida and the Nation1
Overall Trends in Scores and Number of Test Takers (Pages 1-3)
•
Florida students graduating in 2009 scored an average of 995 on the combined SAT critical reading and math sections, two points higher than last year. 2 Both Florida’s reading score and the math score went up one point.
•
The combined score for the U.S. was 1016, one point lower than in 2008. The reading score for the U.S. went down one point while the math score was the same as last year.
•
Florida’s writing score went down one point, as did the writing score for the nation.
•
Florida continues to have a significantly larger percentage of graduates taking the SAT than is true nationwide. This makes comparisons of Florida scores with scores of the nation problematic, since typically, the larger the percentage of students taking a test, the lower the average score is likely to be.
•
The number of Florida test takers increased by two percent, up from 98,578 in 2008 to 100,179 in 2009. The represents 58% of all 2009 graduates, about the same as last year.
•
Nationwide, the number of test takers as a percentage of the graduates was 46%, 12 percentage points lower than Florida.
Profile of the 2009 Test Takers Compared to Prior Years
•
The profile of Florida test takers continues to look less like that of the nation. This can be seen in such trends as the percentage of minority test takers, average family income, and the percentage of first-generation of college attendees. (See pages 3, 11, 17, 18.)
•
The percentage of Florida test takers from minority racial-ethnic groups has been increasing steadily. In 1988 minority test takers represented about one fourth of the test takers (24%); in 2009, minority test takers represented 48%. (See page 12.)
Nationwide, the percentage of minority test takers has also been increasing but at a slower rate than in Florida. In 1988, minorities represented 23% of the test takers nationwide, about the same as in Florida. By 2009 the percentage had increased to 42%, with Asians, whose scores are typically well above average, representing 10.9 % of the total, compared to 4.6% for Florida. (See page 3.)

Uses of the SAT in Florida
SAT is a college entrance examination taken voluntarily by the students at times and test sites set by the testing company. Examples of ways in which SAT scores (or, alternatively, concordant ACT scores) are used in Florida include the following:
•
For admissions to a state university, along with high school grade point average (GPA) and other factors. Eligibility is determined by a sliding scale, depending on the student's GPA. For instance, a student with a GPA of 2.9 or higher can meet the eligibility requirement with an SAT combined score (math + reading) of 970 while a student with a GPA of 2.0 needs an SAT score of 1140.
•
For meeting qualifications for the Bright Futures Scholarship Program. For instance, a Florida Academic Scholars Award requires an SAT score of 1270, while a Florida Medallion Scholars Award requires a score of 970.
•
For placement into regular college courses. Students who present an SAT critical reading score of 440 and a mathematics score of 440 may be exempted from taking the Florida College Entry-Level Placement Test. The Florida College Entry-Level Placement Test is used to place students either in regular college courses or college preparatory courses.
•
For admissions to a state university under the Talented 20 Program. In order to be eligible for the Talented 20 Program, a student must take either the SAT or the ACT.
•
As an alternative to satisfy FCAT requirements for high school graduation. Since 2003, high school students who have failed to achieve the required minimum score on the tenth grade FCAT, after three attempts, have the option of substituting a minimum score of 410 on the SAT reading or a 370 on the SAT math sections (or concordant scores on the ACT) for FCAT. Students who have failed FCAT and attempt to use this option, whether or not they achieve the minimum SAT score, are likely to impact the state SAT mean score.
Course-taking Patterns of SAT Test Takers (Pages 6-8)
•
The more rigorous courses students have taken in high school, the higher SAT scores are likely to be. For example, Florida students who have taken calculus have an average SAT math score of 604, compared to 450 for those students whose highest math course was Algebra II. (See page 6)
•
In science, test takers who have taken or will have taken physics have an average SAT total score of 1069. The average score for all test takers who have taken chemistry is 1023. Among those test takers who reported their science courses, 58% reported they will have taken four years or more of science by the time they graduate.3

Students who have failed FCAT and attempt to use this option, whether or not they achieve the minimum SAT score, are likely to impact the state SAT mean score.
Course-taking Patterns of SAT Test Takers (Pages 6-8)
•
The more rigorous courses students have taken in high school, the higher SAT scores are likely to be. For example, Florida students who have taken calculus have an average SAT math score of 604, compared to 450 for those students whose highest math course was Algebra II. (See page 6)
•
In science, test takers who have taken or will have taken physics have an average SAT total score of 1069. The average score for all test takers who have taken chemistry is 1023. Among those test takers who reported their science courses, 58% reported they will have taken four years or more of science by the time they graduate.3

About Us
The Bureau of Research and Evaluation conducts research and data analysis on emerging educational issues. The Bureau also assists in implementing the Commissioner's strategic plan for education by identifying effective policies for improved student performance and accountability, conducting short-term research projects to provide information about current education topics and education reform, and in-depth studies which provide a more comprehensive picture of a policy, program, or trend. For many research projects, the office establishes and coordinates teams, drawing on the expertise in and outside the department. Findings are published as reports, information briefs, and technical assistance documents.
The Evaluation and Reporting section of Research and Evaluation administers programs to meet public reporting requirements for school, district, and state accountability in the PK-12 sector of Florida’s PK-20 education system. The section’s core programs focus on calculating and reporting school grades and adequate yearly progress (AYP) for schools, districts, and the state in compliance with the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (NCLB Act of 2001). The section also calculates school improvement ratings for alternative schools, updates school placement information for Differentiated Accountability, identifies schools eligible for Florida School Recognition awards, and supports other offices in the agency to address accountability information needs.

GREETINGS – KING HIGH ALUMNI
HOPE THIS NEWSLETTER FINDS ALL HEALTHY & PROSPEROUS!
As another year passes us by, we approach 2010 the 50th anniversary of King High School. Several
have questioned the possibility of a 50th anniversary reunion that would be open to all alumni and
faculty. If this is feasible – NOW IS THE TIME TO START THE LION ROARING. Several
committees will need to be formed and organized, with lots more alumni taking an active part than
we have now. Our mailing list is just over 300 with about 80 dues paying members and eight (8)
active board members. I need your input and lots of support if this is a project that we wish to
pursue. Please contact me with your feedback, concerns and willingness to work at this long term
endeavor – ASAP – at (813) 973-3855 or email rayblk123@aol.com.
MEETINGS: In order to obtain more participation from the school, our monthly meetings have been
moved to the second Wednesday of the month at 10:00 a.m. in the Principal’s Conference
Room at King. All are welcome to attend!
HOMECOMING – ALUMNI BBQ – WALL OF PRIDE AWARDS CEREMONY
King High’s “Wall of Pride” hosted this year’s alumni BBQ, Thursday October 16th from 5:00-6:00 p.m., at
King’s stadium entrance, with great success. Special thanks to Jeff Lupton (Lupton’s Catering) and his
crew for the fantastic feast had by all. Highlights of the evening were the halftime presentation by Mike
Cartwright of the Alumni Association Wall for Pride Awards. This year’s recipients were King High
graduates, Mr. Casper Johnson – 1964, and Ms. Joyce Johnston – 1968, honored for all that they have
so unselfishly given back to their community throughout their lives.
FUND RAISERS: Again this year our primary fundraiser was the “Village Inn Pie Sale”. Due to
economic times we only sold 138 pies giving a profit of $345.00.
2009 MEMBERSHIP DRIVE - (Jan. 1st - Dec. 31st) – We are a nonprofit organization and our

faculty. If this is feasible – NOW IS THE TIME TO START THE LION ROARING. Several
committees will need to be formed and organized, with lots more alumni taking an active part than
we have now. Our mailing list is just over 300 with about 80 dues paying members and eight (8)
active board members. I need your input and lots of support if this is a project that we wish to
pursue. Please contact me with your feedback, concerns and willingness to work at this long term
endeavor – ASAP – at (813) 973-3855 or email rayblk123@aol.com.
MEETINGS: In order to obtain more participation from the school, our monthly meetings have been
moved to the second Wednesday of the month at 10:00 a.m. in the Principal’s Conference
Room at King. All are welcome to attend!

About Our School.
C. Leon King High School opened in 1960 with 58 staff members and 960 students. The school was named in honor of C. Leon King, a distinguished and respected member of the Hillsborough County Board of Public Instruction for 18 years.
King High School is a traditional/hybrid magnet. It has one of the three International Baccalaureate programs in Hillsborough County, Florida. The IB program of King began in July, 1993. Eighty-nine percent of IB seniors earned the IB Diploma in 2006--one of the highest rates in the United States.
Attendance rate in 2005 was 92%, and the Class of 2007 includes 24 National Merit semifinalists; Class of 2008 had the most National Merit finalists in the State of Florida.
Facts of interest: The King High School orchestral program has experienced great success in the last few years, and received a superior rating this year under a new director. The King Orchestra has maintained their status as the county's top orchestra program and was one of few schools in the state to receive straight superiors at State MPA.
The King High School Marching Lions have received straight superior ratings at Florida Bandmasters Association Marching Festival for 35 consecutive years.
The King High School National Honor Society is the largest chapter in the State of Florida.
Attractor programs include Culinary Arts, Teaching Academy, and King's relationship with the University of South Florida as a Professional Development School.
Students raised $104,132 for Relay For Life surpasing their initial goal of $96,000. Relay For Life is a night of festivities and fundraising to benefit cancer research and patients. King was the first high school in the nation to raise over $100,000. In 2008, King students raised $93,000.
King High School's Boys Swimming team won the 2005 academic award for all of Hillsborough County Swim Teams with an average GPA of 3.539.
In its first year, the Mock Trial Club was very successful, winning the two preliminary rounds at the FLREA district competition at the Edgecomb courthouse in downtown Tampa. They placed second overall in their district, with two "Best Attorney" and one "Best Witness" award for the three rounds they participated in, including the final against Riverview High School.
King High School is home to one of the best Junior State of America chapters in the Southeast, consistently winning awards for superior public speaking and debating.
King has been recognized by Newsweek Magazine as being among the top 10% of all high schools in America.
The Speech and Debate team always performs at high levels. At the "Winter Springs" invitational, every student that participated broke to an elimination round, and Laura Kaufman got first place in the state of Florida for International Extemporaneous Speaking. A week later, at the Yale Invitational, Stephanie Buchman broke to quarterfinals in Original Oratory and Mohammad Gardezi broke to quarterfinals in Mixed Extemporaneous Speaking.
Notable Alumni: Mayor Pam Iorio, Tim Crews; Derek Bell; Gary Koch; Calvin Pickering; Olympic Gold medalist 2nd baseman Ty Griffin; David Stamps; Seth Zalkin.
