a 210:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 4.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 88.1% White, 7.1% Hispanic or Latino, 2.4% African American across the district's schools.

Brooksville Elementary School accounts for 51.9% of all Brooksville Public Schools student enrollment

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Brooksville Public Schools a distant remainder — means Brooksville Public Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.

Brooksville Public Schools student-counselor ratio is 210:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)

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 Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.

Brooksville Public Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 4.8% — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)

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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
