27 St. Johns County Schools Named Schools of Excellence

The announcement

Twenty-seven St. Johns County schools were named among Florida’s Schools of Excellence. The recognition is a statewide designation involving schools in St. Johns County.

What it means locally

The designation gives the county’s schools a place on a Florida list of Schools of Excellence. The announcement identifies the number of St. Johns County schools included, but does not name the individual schools in the information available here.

For families, students and residents, the key local fact is the size of the recognition: 27 schools in the county were included. The announcement does not provide school-level details, such as whether the recognition applies to elementary, middle or high schools.

What to look for next

More detail would clarify which schools received the designation and what standards were used. It would also help show whether the recognition reflects test results, graduation measures, school grades or another state process.

The Florida Schools of Excellence designation is separate from any election or campaign issue. It concerns schools in St. Johns County and their inclusion on a statewide list.
