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 Windmill Point Elementary 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, St. Lucie West K-8, Tradition Lakes K-8 and West Gate K-8. 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 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). The Red zone has no stand-alone middle school; its middle grades are at its K-8 schools, such as St. Lucie West K-8, Oak Hammock K-8 and Manatee Academy K-8.

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.
