History
From the 2017-2018 school year to the 2021-2022 school year, the school district received "A" ratings from the Florida Department of Education based on state testing measures.[3] As of 2022, the district had the third highest accountability scores of Florida school districts, and was on the state's "High Academic Performance" list.[4]
By 2021, due to an increasing number of students in the district, the district purchased land in the south of the county so another school could be built.[5]
In 2022 Florida Citizens Alliance made a list of books which it deemed objectionable, many of which were related to LGBTQI themes. The Walton County district used the list to remove library books.[6]
