Elementary Schools in St. Johns

The 27 elementary schools located in the St. Johns district of Florida serve students from diverse backgrounds and offer a range of academic experiences. While the district as a whole performs exceptionally well, with all schools rated 4 or 5 stars by SchoolDigger, there are notable differences in the schools' student demographics, academic achievements, and resource levels.

At the top of the district's elementary schools are standouts like Palm Valley Academy, which ranks 77th out of 2,256 Florida elementary schools, and Ponte Vedra Palm Valley-Rawlings Elementary School, which ranks 19th and boasts over 90% proficiency in English Language Arts and Math. Other high-performing schools include Durbin Creek Elementary School and Valley Ridge Academy. These schools serve more affluent and academically-inclined student populations, often with lower rates of chronic absenteeism and higher spending per student.

In contrast, some schools in the district, such as James A. Webster Elementary School, have higher percentages of low-income and minority students and struggle more academically, with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that while the St. Johns district overall provides a high-quality public education, there are still pockets of underperforming schools that may require additional support and resources to help close achievement gaps.
