Florida had more than 2.7 million students enrolled in public school districts in 2013-14. Only two states could claim having more, but when you rank states based on the number of school districts, the Sunshine State is nowhere to be found.

Here is a list of the 10 states with the largest numbers of school districts in operation (i.e., districts with students enrolled).
