Cambridge International honours innovative US school districts

17 May 2023

Three school districts in Florida have been recognised in Cambridge International’s annual US District of the Year Awards. The winners for the 2022-2023 school year are Martin County School, District Marion County School District and the School District of Palm Beach County.

The US District of the Year Award recognises school districts that have consistently strong student performance in their schools, that continue to expand their offering of subjects of the Cambridge Pathway and that provide students in high schools in their district the opportunity to participate in the Cambridge programme. Each year Cambridge International awards one district in each of the following segments:

  • Large – districts with over 20 000 students enrolled in high school
  • Medium – districts with between 10 000 and 20 000 students enrolled in high school
  • Small – districts with less than 10 000 students enrolled in high school.

The School District of Palm Beach County in Florida received the District of the Year Award in the large district category. Participation in Cambridge exams in Palm Beach has increased by 18 per cent in the last two years with a wide range of courses available to students in the district. In the midst of this impressive expansion, Palm Beach students continue to succeed in achieving strong pass rates, a testimony to the hard work of teachers, school and district staff, students, and families.

‘Everyone at the School District of Palm Beach County is thrilled to receive this award as a recognition of the impressive achievements of our students and teachers,’ said Dr Glenda Sheffield, Chief Academic Officer. ‘The Cambridge International curriculum creates a pathway for our students to exciting college and career opportunities through access to rigorous coursework. This honour speaks to the hard work and dedication of our students, teachers, and faculty.’

Marion County School District in Florida received the District of the Year Award in the medium district category. Students in Marion County have performed exceptionally well in Cambridge exams since the programme was first introduced in the district. In the past two years, access to Cambridge International courses has increased by 38 per cent across the county.

Martin County School District in Florida received the District of the Year award in the small district category. Since 2021, Martin County has expanded access to Cambridge International exams significantly, with exam participation having more than doubled.

‘We are excited to recognise these three districts as US Districts of the Year,’ said Mark Cavone, Regional Director of Cambridge International, North America. ‘The expansion of our innovative programmes in Martin County School District, Marion County School District, and the School District of Palm Beach County is key to supporting students in their aspirations for college and beyond. Congratulations to all the districts and students for their outstanding performance and special recognition.’
