Summary

Ocean Palms Elementary School in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, is a small, high-performing school serving 386 students in grades PK through 5, and is part of the top-ranked St. Johns County School District.

Ocean Palms stands out for its consistent academic excellence, ranking in the top 2% of all Florida elementary schools for the past decade. A key differentiator is its exceptional science proficiency, with 90% of 5th graders scoring proficient, significantly higher than the district average (71%) and nearby peers like Ponte Vedra Palm Valley- Rawlings Elementary School (87%). The school also boasts the lowest student-teacher ratio in the area at 12.9 students per teacher, far below the 16.2 to 18.7 range of most neighboring schools, and the highest per-student spending at $14,341, which directly supports smaller classes and strong resources. While its math scores are excellent, they are a slightly smaller differentiator compared to its standout English Language Arts and science results.

Ocean Palms also benefits from a low chronic absenteeism rate of 11.8%, well below the district average of 20.1%, and has shown a strong recovery from pandemic-era attendance challenges. The school's high investment in students, combined with its low student-teacher ratio, creates a powerful environment for academic success. This model of high achievement is a clear contrast to some nearby schools in the Duval County district, which show more varied performance levels, highlighting the significant impact of the school district on student outcomes.
