Summary:
The 32033 zip code in Florida has only one school, South Woods Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 694 students. The school is located in the St. Johns school district, which is ranked 5th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
South Woods Elementary's performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1815 out of 2240 Florida elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1311 out of 2258 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger star rating decreasing from 1 to 2. The school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.4% and its test scores are generally below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 49%, compared to 71% for the St. Johns district and 55% for the state of Florida.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $13,387 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.7, the combination of a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (72.33% receiving free or reduced-price lunch) and the declining academic performance suggests that South Woods Elementary may be facing significant challenges in supporting student success and addressing equity issues within the school.
