The K-12 laboratory institutions of Florida State University — The Collegiate School at FSU Panama City, Florida State University Schools located in Tallahassee (FSUS) and FSU Pembroke Pines — have each achieved an “A” designation from the Florida Department of Education for the 2024-25 academic year. 

These achievements, propelled by passionate faculty, staff, and students, embody FSU’s dedication to fostering environments where learners succeed. For the institutions, these accolades bolster their standing, attract exceptional talent, and reinforce community connections. 

“These institutions not only provide some of the finest education in Florida but also influence classrooms throughout the state and country by engaging in significant research aimed at improving our educational systems.” 

– Damon Andrew, Dean of Anne’s College and Superintendent

At FSU Panama City, The Collegiate School has attained its second consecutive “A” rating, a commendable achievement as the institution doubled its student enrollment this year. It set itself apart as the top-ranked school in Bay County, further amplifying the beneficial effects FSU is creating across the Florida Panhandle. 

Debbi Whitaker, Director of The Collegiate School at FSU Panama City, highlighted the initiatives underway to advance educational quality. 

“Achieving an ‘A’ rating from Florida’s DOE is a significant indicator of our school’s ongoing success, particularly since we received an ‘A’ last year during our inaugural term,” stated Whitaker. “The ‘A’ in both years reflects the dedication of students, families, faculty, and staff. We were also distinguished as the highest-rated institution in Bay County, showcasing TCS as a remarkable educational option for learners in our region.”
