By the numbers, Flagler Schools continue to grow. Flagler District Schools currently serves 13,027 students grades Pre-Kindergarten through 12th in 9 public schools. Within this population, 2131 students (14%) receive Exceptional Student Education services and supports. Students participating in classes with their non-disabled peers has increased to 85% across the district, with only 4% in resource settings and 12% in a classroom separate setting. Flagler continues to raise the bar to increase participation across a continuum of services and improve overall outcomes for all students with disabilities.
