More Miami-Dade and Broward high schools have earned A and B grades from the state, and several struggling South Florida schools jumped a letter grade or more.

The South Florida report cards for 2010-11 follow a statewide trend of more high-performing schools and fewer failing schools, according to grades released Wednesday.
