About This School

Twitter

Sarasota Suncoast Academy is located in Sarasota, FL and is one of 37 elementary schools in Sarasota School District. It is a charter school that serves 354 students in grades K-5.

Charter schools are public schools, but differ from traditional public schools in that they are independent and are operated by educators, parents, community leaders, educational entrepreneurs, or others. Funding for charter schools is based on designated local or state educational organizations. Those organizations are responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality and effectiveness of education, but permit the schools to operate outside of the traditional public school education system.

Sarasota Suncoast Academy did not make AYP in 2011. Under No Child Left Behind, a school makes Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) if it achieves the minimum levels of improvement determined by the state of Florida in terms of student performance and other accountability measures. See Sarasota Suncoast Academy's test results to learn more about school performance.

In 2007, Sarasota Suncoast Academy had 16 students for every full-time equivalent teacher. The Florida average is 14 students per full-time equivalent teacher. Learn more about Sarasota Suncoast Academy's students and teachers. more

Sarasota Suncoast Academy

Amy Biza: I have been extremely pleased with my daughter's experiences at this school. The teachers and staff are incredible. Even as a gifted student, my daughter is continuously challenged by her teachers. Suncoast Academy definitely is a community and one that we are proud to be a part of. They focus on teaching children not only academics, but character education as well. I would never send my child anywhere else.
