Learn moreA long streak of 'A' district grades
Collier County Public Schools earned an 'A' district grade for the 2025-2026 school year from the Florida Department of Education -- its ninth consecutive year earning that grade, ranking sixth among Florida's 67 school districts. Marco News, covering the release, described Collier as "tops in Southwest Florida" for the cycle, a real regional distinction worth noting for families comparing Naples against nearby Lee or Charlotte county options.
The trend is improving, not just holding steady
The district's overall accountability score improved by 24 points year over year, with gains in 8 of the 12 categories the state assesses. Of the district's traditional public schools, 51 of 52 (98%) earned an 'A' or 'B' grade in 2025-2026, and none earned a 'D' or 'F' -- a genuinely strong distribution, not just a headline district-level grade papering over weaker individual schools.
Verify your specific zoned school
District-wide grades are strong on average, but individual school assignment still varies by neighborhood and address. Families relocating to Naples should confirm their specific zoned school directly with Collier County Public Schools before buying or leasing, and research the district's school choice and charter options if zoned-school assignment isn't a fit.
