Summary

Pine Island Academy is a public elementary and middle school in St. Augustine, Florida, serving 1,721 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the highly-ranked St. Johns School District, which is the 5th best district out of 67 in the state.

Pine Island Academy consistently outperforms the St. Johns district and the state of Florida in standardized test scores, with exceptional proficiency rates in subjects like Algebra 1 (89%), Geometry (100%), and Civics (94%). The school's academic performance is generally higher than nearby schools like Patriot Oaks Academy, Palm Valley Academy, and Valley Ridge Academy. However, Pine Island Academy has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.5% in 2022-2023 to 31.4% in 2023-2024, which is an area of concern for the school.

Another notable characteristic of Pine Island Academy is its low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 3.5% to 4.38% over the past three school years. This suggests the school serves a relatively affluent student population, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. In comparison, Bartram Springs Elementary, located in the Duval County School District, has lower academic performance, highlighting the differences in educational outcomes between the two districts.
