Rating 4.15 out of 5 109 reviews
My experience of attending schools in Sarasota County for 13 years was a roller coaster! As the years went by, school was getting harder each time. There're days where I was stressed of having a spelling test to having a 100-question exam. I had loops going in my head with all this craziness happening, but all the help came from the best teachers in Sarasota County. Thanks to them for giving me the right education I needed.
I would recommend going to certain schools in Sarasota County due to the fact that some schools having students that are special because they think their popularity is more important than their friends and peers.
I have spent my student life in the Sarasota County District. I have enjoyed every minute of it. My first years were at Toledo Blade Elementary a very old but, lovable school, my other 3 schools were almost new with excellent facilities, with great teachers and good administrations. They make you feel important and planted on me the seed of education. The most important thing for me to change is the high tolerance to bullies and to students that disrespect authorities(teachers and staff), vandalize, and don't pay the consequences. The district should be more strict to actually prepare us for the real world. Another thing I would like to improve is the variety of sports offered at the middle school level. Basketball, Volleyball, track and tenis are the only choices.
