Educational Attainment

According to the 2006 American Community Survey, approximately 88% of Pinellas County’s population 25 years and over
has a high school degree or better.  This percentage is above Florida as a whole and comparative counties of similar size
as shown below. 

  • Pinellas also has the lowest percentage of individuals failing to obtain a high school diploma and the second highest
    percentage of individuals with a graduate or professional degree, surpassed only by Duval County.
     

In spite of the relatively good overall standing of Pinellas County compared to the state and other counties, a breakdown
of Pinellas County’s population 25 years and over into major race groups shows that 20.5% of individuals classified as
minority have no more than a 12th grade education, approximately twice as high as white non-Hispanics.

  • Although Pinellas’ minority population compares favorably to white non-Hispanics regarding the percentage of high
    school graduates, the educational attainment of the minority population above high school lags behind white non-Hispanics.
