Broward County Public Schools celebrates third straight A rating

Broward County, Florida – Broward County Public Schools is marking a major academic milestone this week, as district leaders gather to recognize being named an “A”-rated school district by the Florida Department of Education for the third year in a row.

School Board members and BCPS Superintendent will host a news conference on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at noon at the Kathleen C. Wright Administration Center in Fort Lauderdale. The event will highlight the district’s continued academic performance and share details about individual school grades across Broward County.

The recognition reflects a consistent trend for the district, which has maintained top-tier status under the state’s accountability system for three consecutive years. Officials say the achievement underscores ongoing efforts in classrooms across the county, from elementary schools to high schools, where teachers and staff have focused on improving instruction and student outcomes.

During the news conference, district leaders are expected to discuss not only the overall “A” rating but also how different schools within the system performed this year. The presentation is anticipated to include updates on academic progress, school-level results, and broader district initiatives aimed at sustaining high performance.
