Florida's class size cap was established over the course of several years, in response to a statewide referendum in 2002 that amended its state constitution. Statewide, class size averages are 15.46 students per class in grades preK-3, 17.75 in grades 4–8, and 19.01 in high school. Some cities regulate class size as well.

This change typically saw reassignment of grade 9 to the (senior) high school, with grade 6 sometimes included in middle school with grades 7 and 8.
The school bases the middle and upper schools on a ten-day cycle. Students participate in activities that provide community resources and partnerships one day every other cycle. There are division-wide co-curricular programs in the middle school. In contrast, the students are involved with numerous community programs at the upper school.
Middle children can be told they are supposed to act like their older siblings yet not given the same leeway to make mistakes as younger children in the home. Talk about whiplash.
