Also, Vangaurd and Belleview are the top rated schools in Marion County. They are the only two Marion County schools that made the list of "America's Top High Schools" by Newsweek. Belleview, Vanguard ranked in Newsweek's list of top high schools | Ocala.com | Star-Banner | Ocala, FL

I must say, I did send my older children back north to finish school, because Marion County was so far behind and offered no high tech classes that my children had been in prior to moving here. They had been in Computer Programming and Networking programs, and the BEST that they could get here was HTML for programming and MS Certification via Marion Technical Institute (was not open when we moved here in 04).

You can check out the schools via the Marion County School's main website at: Marion County Public Schools, Ocala, Florida

Hope this helps, just a little!!
