Gulf Coast
Longboat Key
Ten miles of island split between Sarasota and Manatee counties, with a single road down the spine and a resident population that doubles in February. Longboat protects its quiet the way other towns protect a historic district: no weekly rentals, height limits, and gated Gulf-front enclaves like the Longboat Key Club and Bay Isles. Inventory is mostly beachfront condos and bay-side homes with deep-water dockage, priced above Siesta and below Bird Key. Insurance and flood elevation drive negotiation here more than anything cosmetic.

Zoned schools (Sarasota County)
There are no schools on the island itself. These are the Sarasota County public schools Longboat Key addresses are currently zoned to — students are assigned by address, not by proximity.
- Southside Elementary School
public · K-5 · 10/10 GreatSchools
- Booker Middle School
public · 6-8 · 5/10 GreatSchools
- Booker High School
public · 9-12 · 3/10 GreatSchools
What the rating means: GreatSchools scores each school from 1 to 10 based largely on state test results, academic progress and how different groups of students perform. It is a summary of test data, not a judgement of teaching, programs or fit for your child.
Why this disclaimer: ratings are refreshed by GreatSchools each year and Florida districts redraw attendance boundaries, open new schools and change grade spans between school years. Verify the current assignment for the exact address with the county school district — and visit — before you rely on it in an offer.
