    F lorida adopted some of the country's strongest incentives last year for teachers to earn national board certification, raising its grade on Quality Counts' teaching indicators. The state is revamping its accountability system to make it more stringent. Last year, only four schools were identified as low-performing using the state's current criteria.

    * Note: The equity grade is based on 1994-95 data, the most recent available.
