Summary

St. Johns Classical Academy Orange Park is a small, alternative public charter school in Orange Park, FL, serving 405 students from Kindergarten through 12th grade within the high-performing Clay district.

This school presents a mixed picture of academic performance. While it shows notable strength in middle school math—with 6th and 7th graders scoring above the district average—it struggles significantly in elementary math, where 4th grade proficiency was just 47% compared to the district's 65%. The most striking comparison is with its sister campus, St Johns Classical Academy in Fleming Island, which consistently outperforms Orange Park by 20-30 percentage points in nearly every subject. This gap exists despite both schools serving relatively low-poverty populations and having similar per-student spending. The school also has a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.6%, which is higher than its Fleming Island counterpart (12.5%) but lower than the district average (26.7%).

For parents, the key takeaway is that St. Johns Classical Academy Orange Park is a school with potential that shows inconsistent results. It outperforms large virtual schools like Florida Cyber Charter Academy and Digital Academy Of Florida by a wide margin, but it lags behind its brick-and-mortar peers in the Clay district. The school's math program is a particular concern in the elementary grades, though middle school math is a bright spot. With a manageable student-teacher ratio of 15.8:1 and a solid district foundation, the school has the resources to improve, but parents should investigate the elementary math curriculum and ask about efforts to reduce chronic absenteeism before enrolling.
