Pine Island Academy

Summary:

Pine Island Academy is a public elementary and middle school located in St. Augustine, Florida, serving 1,530 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the highly-ranked St. Johns School District, which is ranked 4th out of 68 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pine Island Academy consistently outperforms the St. Johns district and the state of Florida in various standardized test scores, with 93% proficiency in Algebra 1, 100% in Geometry, and 94% in Civics, compared to 78%, 74%, and 92% for the district, respectively. While the student population is predominantly white (75.1%), the school has a more diverse student body compared to some nearby schools, with 12.48% Hispanic, 4.84% Asian, and 6.93% two or more races. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 11.9% is higher than the state average of 10.6%, though still lower than some nearby schools like Therapeutic Learning Center (57.9%) and Bartram Springs Elementary (24.2%).

The low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Pine Island Academy (4.38%) suggests a higher socioeconomic status of the student population compared to the state and some nearby schools. This may have implications for the school's resources and the support available to students from lower-income families. Overall, Pine Island Academy's consistently high academic performance, diverse student population, and relatively low chronic absenteeism rates make it a standout institution within the St. Johns School District.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
