Sarasota County Schools reports historic districtwide ratings and middle-school gains
Summary
Superintendent Terry Connor told the district podcast that for 2025–26 every district-run school received an A or B rating and all district middle schools earned A ratings; he said the county has now recorded 23 consecutive county-level A ratings.
Superintendent Terry Connor said Sarasota County Schools posted notable gains for 2025–2026, with every district-managed school receiving an A or B rating under the state accountability system and all district-run middle schools earning A ratings. He called the results “a combination of determination, resources for students and support for teachers.”
Connor pointed to continuity in district systems and supports as the reason for sustained performance and said the county has a long-run record of high marks: "…с момента введения оценок для округов округ Сарасота получил свою 23 подряд оценку А." He framed the achievement as the result of consistent instructional focus and districtwide processes to meet high expectations.
Why it matters: the ratings influence community perception, district strategy and accountability. Connor said the district will build on literacy and mathematics practices that guided recent gains and will continue expanding supports to ensure students remain on track through grade transitions.
