An overview of Brandon public schools
The federal directory lists 9 public schools in Brandon, FL: 6 elementary, 2 middle, 1 high. The 9 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 7,331 students, an average of 815 per school. The largest campus is Brandon High School (1,835 students), and the largest elementary school is Mintz Elementary School (687).

Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 15.8:1, lower than the statewide school median of 16.8:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
About 55% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
