1. Bushnell Elementary School
2. Lake Panasoffkee Elementary School
3. Webster Elementary School
4. Wildwood Elementary School
5. South Sumter Middle School
6. Wildwood Middle High School
7. South Sumter High School
8. Sumter P.R.E.P Academy
9. Sumter Career & Adult Education
10. The Villages Charter School
The Villages Charter School is actually 3 schools, Elementary, Middle and High School. With 3319 students total in TVCS (National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Home Page, a part of the U.S. Department of Education). The County all together including all schools has 8675 students (National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Home Page, a part of the U.S. Department of Education) and as posted previously. So 38% of the students attend TVCS's.
