The state’s 2026 file sets an A for a combination school (one that spans elementary, middle or high grades) at 65% of points or more, according to the 2025-26 school grades file from the Florida Department of Education.

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 St. Lucie West K-8 in the Red zone (home ZIP codes 34953, 34972, 34986, 34987 and 34988), alongside Allapattah Flats K-8, Bayshore Elementary, Manatee Academy K-8, Oak Hammock K-8, Palm Pointe K-8, Tradition Lakes K-8, West Gate K-8 and Windmill Point Elementary. 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.

Which high school?

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. For Red zone homes, the chart sends Tradition (34987) to Legacy High; 34986 to Fort Pierce Central north of Peacock Boulevard or to St. Lucie West Centennial south of it; and 34953 to Legacy, Centennial or Treasure Coast depending on which side of Gatlin Boulevard, Rosser Boulevard and the power lines a home sits.
