District Snapshot

Florida operates one school, the Gabriel Abbott Memorial School, and educates its own students through grade 8. High-school students choose Drury High School or McCann Technical High School, both in North Adams, with the town providing busing.

Spending & Context
Florida spends about $23,174.98 per pupil in-district, higher than the statewide average, which is common for the smallest districts, where fixed costs are spread across very few students. Because the school serves pre-K through grade 8, the town does not report a high-school graduation rate of its own; its teenagers earn their diplomas at Drury or McCann in North Adams.
Academic Performance
MCAS results, enrollment, and accountability data for the Florida district are published and updated each year by DESE. Because these change annually, this guide links to the live state profile rather than reprinting numbers that quickly go stale.
