Enrollment and teachers

The federal count was 386 students in the 2024-25 school year, the latest year in the NCES school directory, with 29.8 full-time-equivalent teachers, or about 13 students per teacher. The same federal directory listed 952 students for 2023-24; it gives no reason for the change. The district’s first-day report does not count elementary schools separately, because most of them stagger the kindergarten start.

State report card

Florida grades every public school A to F each year. For elementary schools, the grade is the share of possible points a school earns on state test results in English language arts, math and science and on learning gains, according to the Florida Department of Education.

We checked every St. Johns County address point with a Ponte Vedra Beach mailing city against the 2026-27 zone map on Oct. 10, 2026: 3,391 are in the Ocean Palms zone. The streets with the most of them include Roscoe Boulevard, part of Ponte Vedra Boulevard, Mill View Way, Plantation Circle, Sea Hammock Way, Canal Boulevard, Neck Road and Palm Valley Road. Most of the rest of Ponte Vedra Beach is zoned for PVPV-Rawlings Elementary.

On the same map, the Ocean Palms zone sits inside the Alice B. Landrum Middle and Ponte Vedra High zones. The district does not publish a separate feeder list.

The zone changes the School Board took up for 2026-27 drew zones for two new K-8 schools, known as QQ and RR; the district’s rezoning presentation does not name Ocean Palms.
