We are proud to announce that the Walton County School District has again been designated an Academically High-Performing School District for the sixth consecutive year by the Florida Department of Education. This prestigious recognition for the 2023-2024 school year is based on school and district grades, class size compliance, and strong financial stewardship.
The Walton County School District is committed to fostering a culture of EPIC learning, where Excellence, Professionalism, Innovation, and Collaboration remain the cornerstones of student achievement. This recognition would not have been possible without the collaboration and commitment of our students, teachers, support staff, school board, and community. Their ongoing dedication and unwavering commitment to an EPIC learning environment have been vital in achieving this success.
As part of this recognition, several of our schools have also been designated as Schools of Excellence, per the Florida Department of Education’s Schools of Excellence Program. This program rewards schools that consistently perform in the top 80th percentile of their grade groupings. The Schools of Excellence designation offers a range of administrative flexibilities designed to empower both instructional personnel and administrative staff to focus on student learning.
Superintendent A. Russell Hughes expressed his excitement for this achievement:
”I am elated to once again highlight the EPIC work of our students, teachers, staff, school board, and community. These accolades showcase the dedication and tenacity of our students and the passion and persistence of our teachers. Congratulations to all on this prestigious accomplishment.”
