District-Level NCES Analysis
Taylor operates 7 public schools serving 2,783 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Florida. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 combined, 2 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Taylor County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,512 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 67 Florida districts by per-pupil spending. See how Florida compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 37.0% local, 35.8% state, and 27.2% 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 79/100, ranked #6 of 67 in Florida against a state average of 51, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 411.3:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, and 47.6% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 62.9% White, 28.1% African American, 2.9% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Taylor County Middle School, with a diversity index of 57.5/100.
Its largest campus is Taylor County High School, enrolling 639 students (25% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Taylor Paec Virtual Franchise, at 3 students, a 213x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Taylor County High School accounts for 23.0% of all Taylor student enrollment
That concentration means Taylor-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. 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.
Taylor school enrollment varies 213× across entities
Taylor school enrollment ranges from 3 students (lowest) to 639 students (highest), a spread of 636 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 clears the 50% majority mark. 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.
Taylor student-counselor ratio is 411:1 — 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.
Taylor chronic absenteeism rate is 47.6% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 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.
Taylor has 7 schools, including 1 high, 2 elementary, 1 middle, 3 combined. Total enrollment is 2,783 students.
