- In 2014, 84.3 percent of the district’s students graduated high school – the highest graduation rate among Florida’s largest school districts.
- The district’s schools feature 279 choice programs and career academies – of which 15 are nationally recognized, and 14 earned international recognition for their outstanding programs.
- More than one-third of the district’s 12,485 teachers have advanced degrees, and all teachers are certified by the state of Florida.
