Pasco County Schools, also known as District School Board of Pasco County, is a school district that serves all of Pasco County in the U.S. state of Florida.[4] It is headquartered in Land O' Lakes on the campus of Land O' Lakes High School.

History

[edit]

The Pasco County School Board was founded in 1887, the year the county was founded. Augustine H. Ravesies was appointed the first superintendent of schools. At the time, there were 37 teachers in the county.[5]

In 1896, it was reported that Pasco had 1123 students, 48 teachers, and 42 schools. The first high school in western Pasco County was Gulf High School in 1922.[5]

Segregations in schools

[edit]

Originally schools in Pasco were segregated. The first black school in Pasco is debated, but most agree it was the Hernando Colored School, located near what is now Trilby, though the exact location is not known. The name suggests that it was created before Pasco County was, but was integrated into Pasco County Schools.[6]

Segregation in schools ended when in 1967, the school board ended its battle with the Departments of Health, Education, and Welfare, finally ending segregation.[7]

Schools

[edit]

As of the 2024-2025 school year, there are 106 schools. There are 50 elementary schools, 20 middle schools, 18 high schools, 1 college, 1 virtual school, and 17 charter schools.[8]

The county has seen explosive growth in student enrollment, increasing from 46,458 students in the 1999-2000 year to 65,126 in the 2007-2008 year, an increase of 18,668 or 40.2%. The projected enrollment for the 2007-2008 was 64,674, so the actual enrollment was 452 students over the projection.[9][10] The enrollment for the 2023–2024 school year was 85,855 students with a total of 4,966 teachers.[11]
