As somebody who has grown up within this school district and have attended a range of schools (public, charter, public-magnet, etc.), I feel that Lake District schools does a perfectly average job at schooling for its students. The district has a few standout schools with standout staff, but most of these are chartered schools and are not directly the result of the district. The "Skyward" platform for grade management has been employed by the district since I've been a student, and is very cumbersome and not easy to use (though I hear that they're replacing it). Overall, you get what you make of your schooling (as is the case with most school districts and schools). The district will not hold you back in terms of getting an education, but will also not make an effort to encourage you along. Like many things, you have to know what you want and shoot for it.
TL;DR: Average school district with average facilities. A few short-fallings and a few positives. You get what you make of it.

I have had an overall great experience attending Lake County Schools. The resources are available to all who strive for a great education and there are multiple opportunities provided once a student reaches middle and high school. Many Lake County Schools partnered with Lake-Sumter State College to create the HSCA (Health Science Collegiate Academy) in which students are given the opportunity to full-time dual enroll their junior and senior years and obtain their AA degree by the time they graduate high school. I am participating in the HSCA program and I am on track to obtaining my AA. This along with many other opportunities are available from the Lake County School District. Of course, not everything is perfect. Something I would like to see change is the merging of activities within grades. Creating a voluntary and optional mentor system I feel would allow younger students to adapt better to the high school scene if they opted to have a mentor.
The teachers always help students, not only with school but they also make sure everything is good at home as well. The schools have tutoring and other ways to help students if needed in certain subjects we also have a 30 minute period where we can get help on something, even if we can't come after school. It also helps students to catch up on work they migh have missed. There is a solution to a lot of your questions in lake county as long as you try.
