Dedicated to academic excellence, Sarasota County Schools is home to 56 schools, 46,500 students, and over 5,700 employees. It is one of only two Florida districts to be graded “A” by the Florida Department of Education every year since grading began. Our district offers one of the highest starting teacher salaries in Florida along with an incredible benefits package including employer-paid medical, dental, vision, life, disability, and retirement. U.S. News and World Report has recently ranked Sarasota among the best places to live in the nation and the top place to live in Florida.
