Wildlight Elementary School had the most even distribution of races among the county schools, including 67.6% white students, 13.4% Hispanic students, 10% Black students, 7.7% multiracial students, and 1.2% Asian students.
In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in public schools in the county increased by 2.3% when compared to the previous year.
Florida's choice to stick with in-person classes during the pandemic may have shielded students from significant learning setbacks. A recent Harvard study highlighted that districts heavily reliant on remote learning saw the most significant declines in student achievement amid the COVID-19 crisis.
Interestingly, gaps in math achievement by race and school poverty did not widen in school districts in states such as Texas and Florida and elsewhere that remained largely in-person, said Thomas Kane, professor at Harvard Graduate School of Education.
