Summary:

The 20 schools in zip code 32084 (St. Augustine, FL) serve a diverse range of students from Pre-K through 12th grade, operating under two distinct districts: the top-ranked St. Johns County School District and the specialized Deaf/Blind district.

For parents, the standout traditional schools are Ketterlinus Elementary School and Sebastian Middle School. Ketterlinus has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (16.4%) among non-virtual schools and is the highest-ranked elementary in the area. Sebastian Middle School achieved 100% proficiency in Geometry and Biology 1 exams, showing exceptional advanced coursework. The St. Johns Virtual Franchise is a strong alternative, with a 97.6% graduation rate, zero chronic absenteeism, and lower per-student spending ($6,113). In contrast, St. Johns Technical High School faces significant challenges with a 57.4% chronic absenteeism rate and critically low test scores (17% in Algebra 1). St. Augustine High School presents a paradox: it ranks well (78th percentile) with a 93.4% graduation rate, yet has a 45.4% chronic absenteeism rate—more than double the district average.

Key metrics reveal stark contrasts. The Deaf High School (Fsdb) and Blind High School (Fsdb) have high per-student spending ($47,918) due to specialized needs, while The Evelyn Hamblen Center spends $87,278 per student. Chronic absenteeism is a key indicator of struggle: schools with the lowest performance also have the highest absenteeism rates (over 55%). A notable "middle school math dip" appears at both R J Murray Middle School and Sebastian Middle School, where 7th-grade math proficiency drops sharply from 6th grade (e.g., Sebastian drops from 60% to 25%). Overall, the area offers excellent options for families seeking high performance, but also highlights the need for targeted support in certain schools.
