TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Many Florida students continue to struggle on high-stakes tests in reading and math, although new results released Friday showed signs of improvement for those students taking two key tests needed to graduate.

The Florida Department of Education reported that nearly half of the high school students who took the reading portion of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test did not get a passing grade. More than 386,000 students took the test.
