St. Lucie Public Schools describes its approach as an open-enrollment system in which parents choose among schools close to home, with the assurance that a student can stay through the highest grade the school offers unless the parent chooses otherwise (district school directory). The Fort Pierce campus is in the Green Zone, which Student Assignment defines as the area north of Midway Road (Student Assignment page).

Assignment is a 2 STEP process on the Student Assignment page: an online application for the regional zone or another choice option, then registration at the school with a health examination dated within 12 months and the Florida Certificate of Immunization (Student Assignment process).
