WASHINGTON operates 9 public schools serving 3,313 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Florida. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 other, 2 high, 2 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 3,204 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Washington County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,839 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 23.6% local, 53.9% state, and 22.5% 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 $58,244 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 75/100, ranked #3 of 67 in Florida against a state average of 51 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.
Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 9 schools offering Advanced Placement (2 AP courses district-wide), a 394.7:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 40.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 75.6% White, 11.1% African American, 3.6% Hispanic or Latino across the district's schools.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means WASHINGTON-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
WASHINGTON school enrollment varies 133× across entities
WASHINGTON school enrollment ranges from 7 students (lowest) to 933 students (highest), a spread of 926 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.
WASHINGTON student-counselor ratio is 395:1 — 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.
WASHINGTON chronic absenteeism rate is 40.9% — 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.
WASHINGTON has 9 schools, including 5 other, 2 high, 2 middle. Total enrollment is 3,313 students.
