Summary

Picolata Crossing Elementary School in St. Augustine, FL, serves 1,048 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the highly-rated St. Johns County School District, which holds a 5-star rating and ranks in the 94th percentile statewide.

Picolata Crossing is a solid, reliable school that consistently earns a 4-star rating, but it is not the top performer in its immediate area. Its strongest subject is Math, with proficiency scores (73-77%) slightly edging out English Language Arts (72-73%). However, it is often outperformed by nearby schools like Palencia Elementary (5-star, 93rd percentile) and Timberlin Creek Elementary (5-star, 92nd percentile), which have shown upward trends in state rankings. Picolata Crossing’s state percentile rank has gradually declined from a peak of 89th in 2019 to 77th in the most recent year, while its peers have improved at a faster rate. The school also has larger class sizes (15.8:1 student-to-teacher ratio) and lower per-student spending ($9,106) compared to many nearby schools, such as Osceola Elementary (13:1, $13,818) and James A. Webster Elementary (12.4:1, $14,142).

One area of concern is chronic absenteeism, which has more than doubled from 10.5% in 2020-2021 to 19.4% in 2023-2024, now nearly matching the district average of 20.1%. In contrast, Palencia Elementary has a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.7%. Additionally, 5th-grade Science scores (65% proficient) fall below the district average (71%), highlighting a clear area for improvement. Despite these challenges, Picolata Crossing achieves strong results with fewer resources, making it a good choice for families, especially those prioritizing Math instruction, though it may not be the absolute best option in this competitive cluster of schools.
