The school is part of the highly-ranked Sarasota District, which is ranked 11th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

The school consistently outperforms the Sarasota District and the state of Florida in academic areas such as 3rd grade English Language Arts and Math proficiency, as well as end-of-course exams in Algebra 1 and Civics.
