Education at Starkey Ranch

Starkey Ranch K-8 School is the main reason many residents have chosen Starkey Ranch to put down roots. The vision, supported by a partnership between Pasco County Schools, Parks, Public Libraries, and Wheelock Communities, came to life in fall 2021. Our neighborhood schools provide local education for infants through 8th grade. Creative World offers the highest quality education for infants through Pre-K. Across the street is Starkey K-8 School, a state-of-the-art Pasco County public magnet school with an innovative, modern approach to education. On the K-8 School Campus is Pasco County Libraries’ Starkey Ranch TLC, home to a wonderful Theater, Library, and Cultural Center. During school hours, the Starkey Ranch TLC shares certain facilities with the Starkey Ranch K-8 School, and after the school day is over, some of the school’s recreational facilities are open to the public. Just down the street, the Starkey Ranch County Park is the home of champions, with four new softball fields opened in 2021 and more amenities for the local community. The convenience is unparalleled, you can park the car and walk the kids to athletics and extracurricular activities, with everything centrally located in one beautiful location.
