State report card
Florida grades every public school A to F. A school’s grade is the share of possible points it earns on state test results and learning gains, plus, for high schools, the graduation rate and college and career acceleration. The state’s 2026 file sets an A for an elementary school at 62% of points or more, according to the 2025-26 school grades file from the Florida Department of Education.
| School year | Grade |
|---|---|
| 2025-26 | A (65% of possible points) |
| 2024-25 | A |
| 2023-24 | A |

Attendance zone
St. Lucie Public Schools does not draw neighborhood attendance lines for elementary and middle grades. It uses three regional zones, and families rank the schools in their zone, according to the district’s Student Assignment office. Midway Road and Florida’s Turnpike are the dividing lines: the Green zone is north of Midway Road, the Blue zone is south of Midway Road and east of the Turnpike, and the Red zone is south of Midway Road and west of the Turnpike. Siblings, and children who live within two miles of a school, get preference.
The district’s zone chart (PDF) lists Parkway Elementary in TSA Blue 1 of the Blue zone (home ZIP codes 34981, 34982 and 34983), alongside Floresta Elementary, Northport K-8, Rivers Edge Elementary, Savanna Ridge Elementary and Southern Oaks Middle; and in TSA Green 1 of the Green zone (home ZIP codes 34946, 34949, 34950 and 34951), alongside Lakewood Park Elementary, Lawnwood Elementary, St. Lucie Elementary and Dan McCarty Middle. Families can rank schools in their own transportation service area or across their whole zone, though the district says buses may not run to schools outside a family’s ZIP code area, and children who live within two miles of a school may not get a bus.
Parkway is the one school on both a Blue and a Green zone list. Its district profile lists its zone as Green.

Which middle and high school?
The district does not publish feeder patterns. Fifth graders at an elementary school apply for a middle school in their zone; children already at a K-8, charter or magnet school do not need a new application, according to the district’s school choice FAQ (PDF). In the Blue zone’s northern service area the middle-grade choices are Southern Oaks Middle and grades 6 to 8 at Northport K-8. Green zone families choose among that zone’s middle schools, such as Dan McCarty Middle in Fort Pierce.
High school students are assigned to their residential zone school by ZIP code, not by the school they attended before, according to the Student Assignment office. The district’s high school zone chart (PDF) splits Port St. Lucie among Port St. Lucie High, St. Lucie West Centennial, Treasure Coast High, Legacy High and Fort Pierce Central.
