District-Level NCES Analysis

BREVARD operates 107 public schools serving 74,125 students, placing it among the larger districts in Florida. The school portfolio breaks down into 70 other, 15 elementary, 11 high, 11 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 72,626 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Brevard County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,592 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 45.1% local, 37.1% state, and 17.8% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $53,501 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 40/100, ranked #50 of 67 in Florida against a state average of 51 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 16 of 107 schools offering Advanced Placement (213 AP courses district-wide), a 466.9:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 27.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 55.5% White, 17.0% African American, 16.5% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

BREVARD school enrollment varies 233× across entities

BREVARD school enrollment ranges from 10 students (lowest) to 2,334 students (highest), a spread of 2,324 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity — the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

BREVARD student-counselor ratio is 467:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.

BREVARD chronic absenteeism rate is 27.3% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within BREVARD is typically wider than the BREVARD-aggregate figure suggests.
