Lake County Schools serves approximately 46,000 students in Clermont, Leesburg, Tavares, Eustis, Mount Dora, and surrounding communities west of Orlando. Lake County Schools serves a growing suburban-rural district west of Orlando, centered around the rapidly developing Clermont-South Lake area. The district operates 44 schools and offers 180 student days.
The 2026-2027 calendar was approved after a community stakeholder survey, with the chosen option receiving 60% support. Lake County observes Veterans Day and provides a full week off for Thanksgiving. The district offers career academies and dual enrollment with Lake-Sumter State College.
County context: Lake County Schools serves families in Tavares, Leesburg, Clermont, and surrounding communities. For 2026-2027, students are scheduled to start on August 10, 2026 and finish on May 28, 2027. The main family planning blocks are Thanksgiving Break (November 23, 2026 - November 27, 2026), Winter Break (December 21, 2026 - January 1, 2027), and Spring Break (March 22, 2027 - March 26, 2027).

What to watch: Notable local calendar items include Non-Student Day (April 16, 2027). No recurring early-release entry is listed in the student-facing data used for this page. Teacher workdays, planning days, or student holidays are separated from regular school days, including Non-Student Day / Teacher Professional Learning Day (September 18, 2026), Non-Student Day / Teacher Work Day (October 12, 2026), Non-Student Day / Teacher Work Day (January 4, 2027), and Non-Student Day / Teacher Professional Learning Day (January 5, 2027). If severe weather later changes the calendar, this page should be checked against the district source before families make travel, attendance, or childcare decisions.
Official-source handling: This calendar is compiled from the official Lake County Schools 2026-2027 Student Calendar approved by the School Board on January 27, 2025.

Because this page is marked official, families can use it as the main planning view while still checking the district source for late revisions. User-submitted corrections are checked against official district sources before this page is updated.
