🎉 BIG NEWS, CLAY COUNTY! 🎉

Clay County District Schools has officially been named one of only 18 Academically High-Performing School Districts in the entire state of Florida for the 2025–2026 school year by the Florida Department of Education!

This prestigious recognition reflects our dedication to academic excellence, operational accountability, and student success across every classroom.

To earn and maintain this status, school districts must meet rigorous state benchmarks:

Academic Excellence: Earn an "A" district grade for two consecutive years without any district-operated school receiving an "F."

Classroom Focus: Fully comply with state class size requirements.

Fiscal Responsibility: Maintain clean annual financial audits with no material weaknesses or compliance issues.

This milestone is a direct result of the commitment of our teachers, support professionals, administrators, and district leadership under Superintendent David Broskie, paired with the hard work of our students and the steadfast support of our families and community.

Thank you for believing in our students and making Clay County a leader in Florida public education! 📚✨
