5 public K-12 schools in Bolivia from NCES Common Core of Data: enrollment, grade span, demographics, and Civil Rights Data Collection statistics for every active campus.
According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Bolivia has more public-school enrollment than 14% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Bolivia has fewer enrolled students than most listed city systems, but its student-teacher ratio still falls on the more crowded side of the national distribution. That pairing rules out a simple “large city” explanation for the staffing load. Campus size, grade configuration, vacancies, and district boundaries become the more relevant questions; the profiles below expose those fields school by school without turning the ratio into a quality verdict.
Combined-grade campuses shape the local portfolio
3 of Bolivia's 5 listed schools use NCES's combined or “other” grade-level classification. Citywide averages therefore blend campuses serving unusually broad or nonstandard grade spans with conventional elementary, middle, and high schools. Grade configuration is a first-order comparison here, not a minor label.
Economic need crosses separate district systems
99.2% of enrollment in reporting Bolivia schools is eligible for free lunch, while the city list spans 2 districts. That pairing makes a citywide average especially easy to misread: the need measure follows students, but staffing decisions, calendars, program rules, and federal allocations are administered through separate district structures. The 24-point gap between The Coast and Classical Charter Schools of Southport shows how much reported resource capacity can vary inside the same municipal label. Compare schools within the same district first, then use the city view to see how those local systems differ.

Virginia Williamson Elem accounts for 28.7% of all Bolivia public-school enrollment
That dominant concentration means Bolivia-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: Combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Bolivia school enrollment varies 6.4× across entities
Bolivia school enrollment ranges from 96 students (lowest) to 610 students (highest), a spread of 514 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous school portfolio for a city this size. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.
The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Bolivia student-teacher ratio is 19.4:1 — high (typically associated with larger urban scale or staffing constraints that have widened the headcount gap)
student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
20% of the city's listed public-school campuses are reported as charter schools in NCES CCD. Charter status identifies a different governance arrangement; it does not establish admissions availability, academic quality, or the share of city students enrolled in those campuses.

Most racially and ethnically mixed schools in Bolivia
Ranked by the Simpson student-body diversity index (0-100) from NCES race and ethnicity data, where higher means a more evenly mixed student body. It measures mix, not quality.
Which Bolivia school has the highest Resource Investment Index? ▼
The Coast has the highest Resource Investment Index among the Bolivia schools in this federal-data comparison at 56/100. The index summarizes reported staffing, counseling, gifted-program, and attendance inputs; it is not an academic rating.
How many schools are in Bolivia, NC? ▼
Bolivia has 5 public schools with a total enrollment of 2,125 students. 1 are charter schools. Average student-teacher ratio: 19.4:1.
Data from NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 and Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) 2021-22. The Resource Investment Index uses reported student-teacher ratio,
counselor access, gifted programs, and attendance; it is not an academic rating. Cities must include at least five schools to be listed. This public-data comparison is for informational purposes:
verify current enrollment, attendance boundaries, and programs with the school district before acting. See the guide to understanding NCES data.
