Sarasota enjoys a reputation as one of Florida’s premier communities, and it’s easy to see why: not content to be just another beach town on the sugar-white sands of the Gulf Coast, Sarasota boasts gorgeous architecture, cosmopolitan dining and nightlife, and one of the most vibrant art scenes in the Southeast. Galleries and stages are everywhere, giving residents direct access to a stunning variety of visual art, music, theater, and much more.
The downtown district also features exotic cafes and attractive storefronts along its tree-lined streets, making it easy to grab a bite to eat and walk to the nearest venue for the evening’s entertainment. The nightlife offers innumerable options as well, running the gamut from ultra-casual to ultra-classy. While many of the city’s flashier homes and condos give the city a rather haughty appearance, more affordable options are also available for the considerable population of college students and creatives who inject youthful exuberance and an eclectic sense of style into the community.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
