Summary

Liberty Pines Academy is a large, highly-regarded public school in Saint Johns, FL, serving 1,795 students in grades K-8 as part of the top-rated St. Johns County School District. This school stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced coursework, consistently achieving 100% proficiency in Geometry and Biology 1 End-of-Course (EOC) exams for three consecutive years, a feat not matched by all nearby K-8 schools like Patriot Oaks Academy. Additionally, Liberty Pines boasts remarkably low chronic absenteeism rates (12.2% in 2023-2024), significantly better than the district average (20.1%) and far lower than nearby Duval County schools like Bartram Springs Elementary (23.6%), indicating a highly engaged student body.

Despite its strong test scores, the school has seen a slight decline in its state ranking over the past decade, dropping from the 97th percentile in 2015-2016 to the 83rd percentile in 2025-2026, suggesting other schools statewide are improving at a faster pace. A closer look at 2025-2026 data reveals a pattern of relative weakness in 4th and 7th grades, where English Language Arts proficiency (70% and 69%, respectively) falls below district averages, pointing to potential transition-year challenges. Interestingly, Liberty Pines operates with a lower per-student spending ($8,029) compared to high-performing peers like Timberlin Creek Elementary School ($11,651), yet achieves top-tier results, highlighting its operational efficiency.

The data also underscores a stark contrast between the St. Johns and Duval County districts, even for schools just miles apart. While Liberty Pines and nearby St. Johns schools like Valley Ridge Academy consistently rank in the top 15% of the state with low absenteeism, Duval schools such as Duval Charter School At Flagler Center have much higher chronic absenteeism rates (21.3%). With a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 18.3, Liberty Pines still achieves comparable or better academic results than schools with smaller class sizes, suggesting an effective instructional model that maximizes resources for student success.
