Hello - My husband and I (in our mid thirties) are contemplating a move to the Sarasota area from Massachusetts. Among the things we are looking for are - good schools, artist communities, cultural attractions, similar age residents. Can anyone tell me a little bit about Sarasota population?
Booker high school seemed good as a school for artists- do you know if thats the case? Thanks for any input!

The demographics in Sarasota varies by location within the county. Here is a link to the Census Data on Sarasota - Sarasota County QuickFacts from the US Census Bureau.

Here is the link to Booker High School - Booker High, Sarasota County Schools

Booker High has a Visual and Performing Arts Center and a Visual & Performing Arts magnet Program that provides prime instruction in music, dance, theatre, 2D & 3D art and film. Amongst the VPA graduates are American Idol Finalist Syesha Mercado and Oscar and Emmy winner Bill Corso. BHS's commitment to the arts existed prior to the VPA as TV actor Tony Major graduated prior to its creation and is recognized for his commitment to BHS with the naming of the rehearsal room.

Besides education in the arts through the VPA program, Booker High School provides students with rigorous academic classes with over a dozen Advanced Placement courses and access to Dual Enrollment programs.

Feel free to direct message me, I moved here from NY almost 2 years ago and I will answer your questions honestly... I have no agenda Booker has a good arts program but is in a school that is poorly rated. I went to a performing/visual arts high school in NY and I think I'll have to consider the program at Booker for my DS8 down the road. It's about 30 min from where I live though and I need to do much more research before I'd consider letting her go to that school. Are you interested in the visual or performing arts programs there? My kids go to Pine View School which is a top rated school in the nation for gifted students. We meet lots of interesting families, find plenty of activities, day trips, enrichment, etc and we just bought a home
