District-Level NCES Analysis
Levy operates 12 public schools serving 5,689 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Florida. The school portfolio breaks down into 10 combined, 1 elementary, 1 middle schools, a compact enough portfolio that families can compare every campus directly before they move, rent, or enrol. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Levy County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $11,488 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 67 Florida districts by per-pupil spending. See how Florida compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 25.1% local, 49.6% state, and 25.3% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 50/100, ranked #35 of 67 in Florida against a state average of 51, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 3 of 12 schools offering Advanced Placement (10 AP courses district-wide), a 660.4:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 40.5% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 69.4% White, 14.9% Hispanic or Latino, 8.9% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Joyce M. Bullock Elementary School, with a diversity index of 68.3/100.
Its largest campus is Williston Middle High School, enrolling 1,121 students (20% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Levy Virtual Franchise, at 4 students, a 280x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Williston Middle High School accounts for 19.7% of all Levy student enrollment
That concentration means Levy-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. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Levy school enrollment varies 280× across entities
Levy school enrollment ranges from 4 students (lowest) to 1,121 students (highest), a spread of 1,117 students. That ratio is an extreme outlier spread — among the widest gaps observed anywhere in this dataset. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
The reported share sits between 62.5% and 75%, above a simple majority but below the highest descriptive band used here. 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.
Levy student-counselor ratio is 660:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Levy chronic absenteeism rate is 40.5% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Levy has 12 schools, including 10 combined, 1 elementary, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 5,689 students.
