Lake County Schools earns A rating for second consecutive year, superintendent says

Lake County Schools has earned an A rating from the Florida Department of Education for the second consecutive year, Superintendent Diane Kornege said in a short address. "For the 2nd consecutive year, Lake County Schools is an A rated district as recognized by the Florida Department of Education," she said, and credited that result to students, teachers, staff, families and the broader community.

Kornege framed the rating as both an achievement and a foundation for continued work, saying the district remains committed to closing achievement gaps and ensuring that every student receives grade-appropriate assignments and strong instruction. The statement was part of a broader back-to-school message delivered ahead of the new academic year.
