The district ranked fifth behind Lafayette, St. Johns, Nassau and Walton counties. Last year, Sarasota Schools was also ranked No. 5 in the state.
"Achieving an 'A' grade as a district and improving school grades across the board is a true reflection of the hard work and dedication of our entire school community,” said Sarasota Schools Superintendent Terry Connor. “I am incredibly proud of our students, teachers, staff, and families for their pursuit of excellence. This achievement inspires us to continue striving for even greater success in the future."
"This outstanding accomplishment underscores the effectiveness of our strategic initiatives and the strength of our educational programs,” Rose said. “Our district's commitment to fostering a culture of high expectations and continuous improvement is evident and ensures the needs of our students, teachers, and staff members alike are met."
Manatee County also maintained its "B" rating. Jason Wysong, the Manatee School District superintendent, said much of the district's growth comes from improvements in mathematics and reading scores.
"I am pleased with the academic progress made by Manatee County students and schools during the 2023-24 school year, as measured by results from the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) progress monitoring system initiated by the state in 2022," Wysong said in a statement. "We look forward to building on this momentum as we enter the 2024-25 school year!"
