The free-lunch share is 35% above the Florida average and 35% above the national baseline. The school offers 13 Advanced Placement courses, a stronger academic pipeline indicator than enrollment alone. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 311 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1.
