Lakewood Ranch Area Schools
Nolan Middle School - Built 2019
One major factor to consider when moving to a new area is the school district. Families want to know what schools they will be sending their children to and how those schools rank against other schools, in Florida and nationwide.
Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch homes will be zoned, primarily, to Manatee County Public Schools. With over 30 elementary schools, 7 high schools, and 9 middle schools, it can be difficult to determine which school you would be enrolled in. Here is a shortcut: Follow the link below and type in the street address of the home you are interested in. The School Locator tool will list which schools would be zoned to that particular home.

Is it a good school?
We hear this question a lot, and quite honestly, we can't answer that for you. School Ranking is a way for the state to determine how one school compares to another, based on varying factors, and how much improvement they make from one year to the next.
The Florida State Department of Education uses up to 11 components to determine a grade for each particular school. The points earned for each component are added together and divided by the total number of available points to determine the percentage of points earned.
School Grading Percentages
• A = 62% of points or greater
• B = 54% to 61% of points
• C = 41% to 53% of points
• D = 32% to 40% of points
• F = 31% of points or less
Schools must test 95 percent of their students.
This spreadsheet breaks down each school within each district and displays the grade that school has received by the Department of Education for every year over the past decade. You can utilize this tool to cross reference the schools your potential home is zoned to and get a better picture of the overall performance, as determined by the state. This PDF gives a more thorough explanation of their grading process and how they determine the outcome of each component.
