Summary

Pine Island Academy is a K-8 school in St. Augustine, FL, serving 1,972 students within the highly-rated St. Johns County School District, which is ranked 4th in Florida. This school stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced math, with 100% of students proficient in Geometry and 94% proficient in Algebra 1 on End-of-Course exams, dramatically outperforming both the district and state averages. The school also boasts remarkably low chronic absenteeism at just 14.5%, less than half the state average, and serves a community where only 7% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating very low levels of economic disadvantage.

While Pine Island Academy consistently ranks in the top 15% of Florida elementary schools, it is not the top performer in its immediate area. Nearby schools like Patriot Oaks Academy and Palm Valley Academy rank higher, highlighting the intensely competitive nature of the St. Johns County school cluster. Interestingly, the school is a model of cost-effective excellence, spending just $8,110 per student—significantly less than nearby schools with similar or lower rankings, such as Patriot Oaks Academy ($9,411) and Ocean Palms Elementary ($14,341). This suggests Pine Island Academy is highly effective at allocating its resources to achieve top-tier results.

A notable pattern across nearly all K-8 schools in the area, including Pine Island Academy, is a significant drop in 7th-grade math proficiency (75%) compared to 8th-grade math (84%), suggesting a systemic challenge with the 7th-grade math curriculum. Despite strong absolute test scores, Pine Island Academy's state percentile rank has declined slightly over three years, from the 93rd to the 85th percentile, indicating other schools across Florida are improving at a faster rate. The school maintains consistent ELA proficiency across all grades (75% to 87%), a hallmark of effective, vertically-aligned instruction, and benefits greatly from the powerful socioeconomic and district-level support systems in St. Johns County.
