Summary

Alice B. Landrum Middle School in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL, serves 918 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the top-ranked St. Johns County School District, which is rated 4th out of 70 districts in Florida.

Landrum Middle School stands out for its exceptional and consistent academic performance, earning a 5-star rating every year for the past decade and never ranking below the 95th percentile among Florida middle schools. In the 2025-2026 school year, it ranks 56th out of 1,216 schools statewide, significantly outperforming nearby schools like Fruit Cove Middle School (ranked 143rd) and all Duval County schools, which range from the 8th to 63rd percentile. The school achieves uniformly high proficiency rates across all subjects, from 78% in 7th-grade math to 100% in Geometry EOC, with near-perfect scores in Algebra 1 (99%) and Geometry (100%). This is a stark contrast to Duval County schools, where many score below 50% in core subjects like ELA and math. Landrum also boasts a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.4%, compared to the district average of 20.1% and the state average of 31.4%, and far lower than Duval schools like Alfred I. Dupont Middle School (55.4%) or Southside Middle School (64.3%).

What makes Landrum particularly impressive is that it achieves these top-tier results with a per-student spending of $8,560, which is lower than every Duval County school listed (ranging from $9,266 to $11,501). This suggests highly efficient use of resources, with factors like teacher quality, curriculum, and strong parental involvement driving success rather than raw spending. The school serves a community with a very low percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch (7.73%), and the data shows a clear performance gap between St. Johns County schools and Duval County schools, highlighting the impact of district-level policies and community demographics. While Landrum’s scores are exceptional, 7th-grade math (78% proficient) is a slight dip compared to other subjects, though this is a common challenge across all nearby schools.

Open Quote Avoid sending your kids to this school. The amount of homework is completely unreasonable. They do nothing but testing and preparation for testing. They have ridiculously unnecessary classes for 6th graders such as "Engaged Citizenship", instead of a typing or computer class which they can actually use. These extra classes take time away from actual classes such as math and science and cause absurd amounts of homework to be given to make up for what is not taught in class. This has been the worst school experience we have ever had in our child's 12 years of life. Will change schools as soon as possible. Close Quote

Open Quote AVOID. Teachers and staff are indifferent and often vindictive--the new principal is even worse than the one before. The school has no place for critical thinkers. The school is akin to the story of Stepford Wives. We HATE it. Close Quote
