St. John’s County Ranked #1 School District in Florida, Again

The rankings are calculated by a number of statistics, including state test scores, college readiness, graduation rates, SAT/ACT scores, teacher quality, and public school district ratings (Niche.com). Holding the #1 spot out of 68 other school districts is clearly impressive, and it is safe to say the group effort has paid off. Former Superintendent Dr. Joseph Joyner expressed his views on the district’s success:

“It is important to note that the criteria used to determine school grades was raised this year and yet our high schools continued to excel. I attribute this success to the higher standards, very high expectations, outstanding teachers, dedicated school leaders, and district support. Most importantly, we have very focused and dedicated students with strong parent support” (St. Johns County School District Media Release 2014).
