The Florida Commissioner of Education announced that 86 Orange County Public Schools have been designated Five Star Schools. Last year the district also had 86 schools designated as such, setting a record that showed a 16 percent increase over the 2008-2009 school year.
The Florida Commissioner of Education presents this symbol of achievement each year to schools which have demonstrated and documented the importance of community involvement for student success. A Five Star School shows evidence of exemplary community involvement in the areas of business partnerships, family involvement, volunteers, student community service, and the School Advisory Council.
