Summary

St. Johns Virtual Franchise is a K-12 virtual school in St. Augustine, FL, serving 314 students within the highly-ranked St. Johns School District, which holds a 5-star rating and ranks in the 94th percentile among Florida districts.

This school stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate, which has been effectively 0% for the past five years—a stark contrast to the district average of 20.1% and the state average of 31.4%. In comparison, The Evelyn Hamblen Center, another alternative school in the district, reported a chronic absenteeism rate of 46.2% in the 2023-2024 school year. The virtual model appears to ensure daily participation, likely due to the flexibility of learning from home. Academically, the school excels in English Language Arts and end-of-course exams, with 10th Grade ELA proficiency at 90% (vs. 76% district) and Biology 1 at 94% (vs. 90% district) in 2024-2025. However, it struggles in elementary and middle school mathematics, with 5th Grade Math proficiency at only 45% (vs. 74% district), suggesting that foundational math skills may benefit from more hands-on, in-person instruction.

The school operates with remarkable cost efficiency, spending $6,113 per student compared to $87,278 at The Evelyn Hamblen Center, which serves a smaller, higher-need population with a student-teacher ratio of 3.6:1 versus 18.4:1 at St. Johns Virtual. While the graduation rate is generally high, it shows volatility, dropping from 100% in 2020-2021 to 85% in 2022-2023 before rebounding to 97.6% in 2024-2025. This fluctuation is more pronounced than the stable rates of the district, likely due to smaller cohort sizes. Overall, St. Johns Virtual Franchise is a cost-effective, high-performing option for self-motivated students who thrive in a flexible, home-based learning environment.

My daughter has been in this school for the past year and a half, and it has been incredible! It gives us freedom to do other things while she still gets her schoolwork on time. It makes us feel like school isn’t her entire life, and she receives a much better education than she did in physical school because there are no distractions of other students disrupting a class or changing classrooms constantly. Her self esteem has significantly gone back up as well as all of her grades. She is more challenged, and we have more contact with her teachers than we ever did before. Close Quote
