Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 10% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 54.6% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 5% above the Florida average and 5% above the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 633 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 53.2% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Lake spends $11,078 per pupil district-wide, below the Florida average of $12,756 and below the national average of $19,490.
