I am proud to share that Seminole County Public Schools (SCPS) is an "A"-rated district yet again! Even more impressive is that we've maintained that "A"-rated district ranking every year but one since the inception of the Florida Department of Education's (FDOE) letter-grade system that was established in 1999. This is a testament to our amazing students, teachers, staff, administrators, families and community, without whom this level of academic success would not be possible. The hard-work and commitment of all involved is the primary reason we've maintained a high standard of excellence for so many years and why we've been ranked the #1 district in Florida in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). For the 2019-2020 school year, we will build upon our success by innovating and expanding on areas that students are excited to learn about and will contribute to college and career readiness.

Dining Services Becomes Red Apple Dining
We are proud to announce Red Apple Dining, formerly Dining Services, as the new source of innovative meal options within Seminole County Public Schools (SCPS). Red Apple Dining invites and encourages both parents and guests to 'Experience the Difference' of their campus restaurants, available at all SCPS locations this school year.
With an expert panel of nutritionists, chefs, and the dedicated Red Apple Dining team, each SCPS campus restaurant promises to provide high-quality, fresh, balanced, and nutritious breakfast and lunch options to guests daily. All while ensuring each of their guests receive personalized and exceptional service.
While Red Apple Dining is creating a new standard for meal options, they are also redesigning the environment in which guests dine. With several renovations completed this summer, Red Apple Dining has transformed Lake Brantley High School's dining area into a state-of-the-art campus restaurant. Lake Brantley High School's new micro-restaurant options include: 3.14 Pizzeria (Italian), Mexology (Mexican), Yin Yang (Asian), The Roost (Chicken), and Filtered (Coffee & Tea).
Red Apple Dining plans to continue making strides towards district-wide renovations and eliminating the perceptions of the typical 'school lunch'.
