(LAKEWOOD RANCH, FL) – Lakewood Ranch High School (LRHS) has been designated a “School of Excellence” by the Florida State Board of Education. The Mustangs were the only Manatee County high school to receive the award.
The “School of Excellence” recognition requires that a school be in the “A” or “B” grade ranges for the three most recent academic years, and to spend two of those years in the 80th percentile. Out of over 600 Florida high schools, only 96 achieved this feat.

“I am so proud of our staff and students for receiving this honor. It’s their hard work and commitment that made it happen.”
