District-Level NCES Analysis

OSCEOLA operates 78 public schools serving 73,558 students, placing it among the larger districts in Florida. The school portfolio breaks down into 40 other, 15 elementary, 13 high, 10 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 71,773 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Osceola County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $10,796 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 43.5% local, 42.2% state, and 14.3% 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 $39,121 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 21/100, ranked #67 of 67 in Florida against a state average of 51 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 13 of 78 schools offering Advanced Placement (195 AP courses district-wide), a 434.8:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 36.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 63.4% Hispanic or Latino, 18.5% White, 13.0% African American across the district's schools.

OSCEOLA school enrollment varies 108× across entities

OSCEOLA school enrollment ranges from 27 students (lowest) to 2,929 students (highest), a spread of 2,902 students.

Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

OSCEOLA student-counselor ratio is 435:1 — 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.

OSCEOLA chronic absenteeism rate is 36.8% — 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.
