How to use the Marion County public school directory
Start with the county-level shape, then use the school table for exact records. This directory is built from NCES public school data for Florida; it is best for narrowing research, checking district context, and finding school records to verify with local sources.
Marion County has one district entry in this county file: MARION. Use the table to compare schools, grade spans, and program flags within that district.
School records are spread across 11 listed communities. OCALA has the most listed schools, with 44 records.
Primary schools are the largest listed grade-level group, with 35 schools. Filter the table by level before comparing enrollment or district context.
NCES flags 6 schools as charter, magnet, or virtual in this county file: 4 charter, 2 virtual. Confirm eligibility and enrollment rules with the relevant district.
Filter before comparing
Search by school or district name, then narrow by grade level or program flag so the table matches the student stage you are researching.
Open profiles where available
