Pathways to Success Students are college and career ready when they have the knowledge, skills, and academic preparation needed to enroll and succeed in introductory college credit-bearing courses within an associate or bachelor level degree program without the need for
reme-dial courses. Students need these same attributes and levels of achievement to enter and succeed in postsecondary workforce education programs or to obtain a job that offers a living wage and the chance for career advancement.

District Improvement Plan
Dear Parent:
As partners in education for your children, it is our intent to keep you informed. As you know, St. Johns County District students continue to score well above the state average at every level on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT), as well as rank in the top five in reading and math at every grade level among all 67 districts. However, when a school district does not meet all state student achievement criteria or Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), for four or more years, school districts must develop and publish plans for school improvement. View the St. Johns County Schools District Improvement Plan.
If you have any questions, please call Mr. Scott Sherman, Director of Intervention Services, at (904) 547-7684.
