Glades County schools earn a better than passing grade

Despite being one of the poorest counties in the state, The Glades County School District did the unthinkable and earned an “A-Rating” from the Florida Department of Education.

The recognition follows years of planning and improvements to increase the county’s facilities and create a learning environment that helps the students reach their full potential.

WGCU’s Eileen Kelly shares the resilient story of a school system on the rise.
