Wayman Academy of the Arts Receives “A” Grade

Wayman Academy of the Arts earns an “A” grade from the Florida Department of Education for the 2018/2019 school year.

Principal, Simaran Bakshi says it’s a good feeling to earn an “A” because it shows the “students hard work”.

Wayman Academy of the Arts is considered a “100% Title 1 school”.  Bakshi says this classification means “100% of the students are eligible for free or reduced lunch”.   She says 98-99% of the students at Wayman Academy of the Arts are African-American.

Bakshi says an “A” grade should be the norm and no one should be surprised.
