LAFAYETTE

Headquartered at 363 NE Crawford St in Mayo, Florida, the Lafayette school district operates as a traditional, non-charter public educational system serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Set within a primary rural remote setting, this fully operational district encompasses five schools that foster a close-knit academic environment for the surrounding region. According to the 2024–2025 NCES dataset, the district maintains a total enrollment of 1,152 students, comprising 593 male and 559 female learners. The student body reflects a diverse rural demographic, including 777 White, 244 Hispanic, 82 Black, and 43 multiracial students, alongside smaller representations of Asian and American Indian students.

To deliver comprehensive instruction and individual attention across all grade levels, the district relies on a strong professional team totaling nearly 318 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members. The core academic workforce is composed of 142 FTE teachers and 21 FTE instructional aides, supported by roughly 155 FTE support personnel who oversee daily operations, facility management, and specialized student services. This balanced staffing ratio ensures that students benefit from structured guidance and dedicated resources designed to meet the unique needs of a rural educational community.
