Of the 9,887 students attending Columbia County district schools, 61.3% were white. Black students were the second largest ethnicity in Columbia County district (21.4%).
In the previous school year, white students were also the most common group in Columbia County district, representing 62.3% of the student body.
In the 2022-23 school year, the total number of students enrolled in the county dropped 0.4% 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.
