Summary

St. Augustine High School is a large public high school in St. Augustine, Florida, serving 1,717 students in grades 8-12 as part of the highly-rated St. Johns School District.

This school is a solid performer with a consistent 4-star rating, but it faces unique challenges compared to its more affluent district peers. The most significant issue is chronic absenteeism, with 45.4% of students missing too many days in the 2023-2024 school year—more than double the rate at Allen D. Nease Senior High School (18.8%) and well above the state average. This is closely tied to the school's high rate of economic disadvantage, as 43.45% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to just 6.61% at Nease. Academically, the school shows a clear split: it excels in subjects like U.S. History (89% proficiency, exceeding the district average) and Biology, but struggles significantly with Algebra 1, where only 37% of students are proficient—a 46-point gap from the district average. This suggests a foundational math challenge that needs targeted support.

Despite these hurdles, St. Augustine High School achieves a strong graduation rate of 93.4% and outperforms its most comparable peer, Pedro Menendez High School, which has a similar economic profile but lower scores in Geometry (69% vs. 49%) and U.S. History (86% vs. 73%). The school also spends less per student ($9,817) than some peers, despite serving a more disadvantaged population. For parents, this is a school that delivers solid results in science and history but needs to address attendance and early math skills to close the gap with top-tier schools like Nease or Tocoi Creek High School.
