Superintendent Ronald Blocker has been named to Orlando Magazine list of “50 Most Powerful People in Orlando”.
The July 2009 issue of Orlando Magazine lists Superintendent Ronald Blocker as the second most powerful person in Orlando. In 2008, Superintendent Blocker was ranked as the ninth most powerful person in Orlando by the same magazine.
An excerpt from a paragraph defining why Superintendent Blocker made the Orlando Magazine list reads, “Blocker does get results. Graduation rates and FCAT scores have improved under his reign, and the district achieved an “A” rating.” The magazine says all 50 people selected for the list “have made a difference and affect how we live.”
Orange County Public Schools has 114 schools rated “A” by the Florida Department of Education. Twelve high schools rank among the best in the nation according to the annual “Top of the Class” list published by Newsweek magazine.
