Pine View School is a public school in Osprey, Florida, serving students from grade 2 through grade 12. It enrolls 1,674 students at a student-teacher ratio of 16.6:1 and earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — anchored by a perfect 10.0 on academic performance and an 8.1 on growth. The statewide context makes those scores more concrete.
Pine View ranks 54th out of 3,777 Florida public schools, placing it above 99% of schools in the state. Among 260 Florida schools in its comparison group, it ranks first.
