How to read it
Enrollment is scale, not quality, and in this market it is also a rough proxy for whether a school has room. "Accredited approved" and "non-accredited approved" are both BESE-approved and both can take LA GATOR; the difference is whether the school holds a recognized accreditation, which matters for transcript transfers and some scholarships but not for the account. A check in the STO column means the school accepted Tuition Donation Credit scholarships in 2024-25, which is what lets a qualifying family stack a second award on top. Teacher counts and ratios are the schools' own answers on the federal survey and can be a year or two old; where they disagree with the state enrollment figure, the two were collected in different years.
Blank cells are genuinely blank. Several newly approved schools reported no enrollment to the state, which is why they appear here with dashes and without a profile page.
