Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 81% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 51.5% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 1% below the Florida average and 1% below the national baseline. The school offers 24 Advanced Placement courses, a stronger academic pipeline indicator than enrollment alone. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 474 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1.
On the finance side, the surrounding Broward spends $13,387 per pupil district-wide, above the Florida average of $12,756 and below the national average of $19,490.
