What this school's NCES data tells you
The Einstein School Inc. reports 97 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 7.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 14.6:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 20% 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 8% lower, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 54.9% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 6% above the Florida average and 6% above the national baseline.
On the finance side, the surrounding Alachua spends $12,950 per pupil district-wide, above the Florida average of $12,756 and below the national average of $19,490. Revenue comes 44.3% from local sources (property taxes), 36.3% from the state, and 19.4% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 36/100 (F), calculated from 2 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
