TAVARES – Lake County Schools, in partnership with the Florida Association of District School Superintendents (FADSS), is pleased to announce the launch of "Florida's Future: Powered by Public Schools," a communications initiative. This coordinated, statewide effort will elevate public awareness of the value and positive impact of Florida's public schools under the unifying theme, "Florida's Future: Powered by Public Schools."
We know that every Florida school district achieves remarkable outcomes daily, whether through student achievements, innovative programs, or community partnerships, yet these stories often remain isolated within individual districts. This campaign will highlight our school district and school successes, innovations, and achievement, alongside the diverse school choice options we offer that can only be found in Florida public schools.
The recent announcement of the historic, record-breaking statewide 92.2% high school graduation rates for the 2024-25 school year is a prime example of how Florida’s Future is Powered by Public Schools. In Lake County, the graduate rate soared to 96% for district-operated schools, an increase of 3 percentage points over the previous year. For all Lake County public schools, including charter schools, which are not operated by the district, the graduation climbed to 94%, an increase of about 2 percentage points over 2023-24. These are Lake County’s highest recorded graduation rates since the state began tracking students by graduation cohorts.
This campaign will delve into the programs, people, and positive outcomes resulting from the hard work of our dedicated students, teachers, administrators, school staff, volunteers, and community partnerships, and celebrate those successes.
By uniting around shared messaging and amplifying local success stories, school districts will reinforce the value of Florida's public schools and showcase how Florida's Future is Powered by Public Schools.
