Cedar Key School is a truly unique learning community, proudly serving as the smallest public PreK–12 school in the state, nestled on our beautiful island and at the heart of a close-knit community. Since 2019, Cedar Key School has consistently earned an A school rating, with the exception of the 2020–2021 school year when statewide ratings were paused. Most recently, the school has been recognized as a School of Excellence for three consecutive years, reflecting a sustained commitment to academic achievement and student success.
Our small size is our strength. With small class sizes and a low teacher-to-student ratio, students receive individualized attention while being challenged through a diverse and rigorous academic program. Cedar Key School offers four Advanced Placement (AP) courses along with multiple Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways that lead to industry certifications in Agriculture, Aquaculture, Hospitality & Tourism, and Business Management, preparing students for college, careers, and life beyond graduation.
Students also benefit from a well-rounded experience that includes participation in a variety of clubs and athletic programs such as volleyball, basketball, weightlifting, softball, baseball, cross country, and track and field. Beyond academics and athletics, Cedar Key School serves as the hub of the island community, supported by strong partnerships and unwavering community pride. Together, this support creates a welcoming environment where students are known, challenged, and celebrated every day. Go, Sharks!
