Charlotte County Public Schools educates approximately 2,275 children in an early learning center, four elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. Charlotte County has emerged as a strong, rural school division due to its outstanding teachers, advanced technology, solid test scores, and philosophy of putting children first. Our school system and its accomplishments challenge the myths and damage the stereotypes that can haunt rural education. We build upon our uniqueness and our many achievements to create even more avenues for success. Our success as a school division can only be measured by the success of our students' productivity and competitive ability within the global market place. We strive to empower them as they move quickly into the 21st century. The Charlotte County public school system's mission is to cultivate "21st Century - Ready" students and staff with a passion for life long learning.
