What this school's NCES data tells you
Roulhac Middle School reports 414 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 27.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 16.3:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 11% below the Florida state mean of 18.3:1, signalling more teacher attention per pupil than the state benchmark. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 3% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 49.5% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 5% below the Florida average and 4% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 414 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 43.0% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Washington spends $13,839 per pupil district-wide, above the Florida average of $12,756 and below the national average of $19,490.
