Florida is home to massive, countywide school districts. With that size come large high schools with thousands of students.

In May, more than 13,000 seniors crossed the stage to graduate from public high schools across Palm Beach County. They were part of the nearly 60,000 high school-age students in the county's public schools.

But students are not all evenly distributed.
