Florida Public Schools
The canvas comes first: every public school district in Florida, drawn from the federal boundary files. The data layers — enrollment change, funding, teachers, achievement — are built on top of this map, Missouri-style, in phases.
THE DISTRICT MAP
School district boundaries
Hover any district for its name. Boundaries are the 2024–25 school-year files from NCES EDGE / U.S. Census TIGER.

A note about charter schools. Charter schools enroll about 14.2% of Florida’s public-school students, and they are not drawn individually on this map — they have no attendance boundary to draw. But in Florida most charter schools are authorized by district school boards, which means they generally sit inside the district boundaries you see here and count within those districts. What this map leaves out is the school-level detail, not the students themselves. A minority are authorized at the state level and enroll across district lines.
