Port St. Lucie Schools Guide

The Census geocoder places Bayshore Elementary, Port St. Lucie High and other district campuses inside the city but could not confirm Allapattah Flats K-8, Legacy High, Savanna Ridge Elementary, Southern Oaks Middle or Tradition Lakes K-8.

A search of the federal school locator for the city name Port St. Lucie returns 31 public schools, with enrollment from the 2024-25 school year and preliminary 2025-26 directory data (NCES school search, page 1). The list mixes district schools with charter schools, the St. Lucie Virtual Instruction Program, a homebound program at 9461 Brandywine Lane and Acceleration Academy at 7526 S. US 1 (NCES school search, page 1; NCES school search, page 2). Its last entry is Windmill Point Elementary at 700 SW Darwin Blvd, with 1,056 students (NCES school search, page 3).

A Port St. Lucie mailing address does not prove a school sits inside the city. The Census geocoder returns Port St. Lucie city, GEOID 1258715, for Bayshore Elementary at 1661 SW Bayshore Blvd (Census geocoder, Bayshore Blvd) and for 1201 SE Lennard Road, the Port St. Lucie High address (Census geocoder, Lennard Road). For 9461 Brandywine Lane, the Tradition Lakes K8 address in the federal list and the district office address, the geocoder matched the street range but returned no incorporated place (Census geocoder, Brandywine Lane).

The two official records also disagree on one Port St. Lucie address: the district profile puts Port St. Lucie High at 1201 S.E. Lennard Road (Port St. Lucie High profile), while the federal list gives 1201 SE Jaguar Ln (NCES school search, page 1). Both carry the same phone, (772) 337-6770.

In the FLDOE 2025-26 school grades dated September 1, 2026, Morningside, Parkway and Rivers Edge elementaries, Southport Middle, Palm Pointe K-8 and Port St. Lucie High each earned an A.

The table lists every district-run school from the federal Port St. Lucie list with its 2026 and 2025 grades from the state file (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook) and the result of the Census geocoder check described above. Charter schools are left out here because the Port St. Lucie charter schools guide covers them.

The state grading scale differs by level. For elementary schools an A means 62 percent of possible points or more and a C runs from 41 to 53 percent; for middle schools an A starts at 64 percent; for high and combination schools an A starts at 65 percent (FLDOE school grades workbook, grading scale note). Port St. Lucie High earned 66 percent of possible points in 2026, moving from a B in 2025 to an A.

Two Port St. Lucie rows are incomplete. Legacy High School on Crosstown Parkway has a 2026 grade of B and no 2025 grade in the file, and Tradition Lakes K8, which the federal list places at 9461 Brandywine Lane, has no row in the 2026 workbook at all (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook).

St. Lucie Public Schools uses a two-step process for Port St. Lucie families: apply for a school in the regional zone, then complete registration at the assigned school.

The district runs regional zones instead of neighborhood schools so it does not have to redistrict as Port St. Lucie grows (St. Lucie Public Schools Student Assignment page). Elementary and middle schools sit in three zones divided by Midway Road and Florida's Turnpike, and each zone includes portions of Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie: 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. Preference goes to families with a sibling at the school or who live within two miles of it. High school students are assigned to a residential zone school by ZIP code.

Step one in Port St. Lucie is the online application with an original birth certificate, proof of address, a Social Security card if available, proof of custody when needed, the last school attended and any IEP (Student Assignment application steps). Step two is registration at the school, with a physical dated within 12 months (required for kindergarten) and the DH680 Florida Certificate of Immunization, which the Florida Health Department office at 5150 NW Milner Dr, Port St. Lucie, issues free from an immunization record.

The 2026 Port St. Lucie application windows have passed: high school and early K-8 enrollment ran January 1 to 31, 2026, open K-8 enrollment March 1 to 31, 2026, and transfer petitions May 1 to 31, 2026. The page told families applying to an out-of-zone school such as Legacy High to pick the Out of Zone application rather than the Universal Application. A child must be 5 on or before September 1 to start kindergarten, with no early entrance.

The district high schools with Port St. Lucie addresses are Port St. Lucie High, St. Lucie West Centennial High, Treasure Coast High and Legacy High on Crosstown Parkway.

Port St. Lucie High runs from 7:33 a.m. to 1:41 p.m. for grades 9 to 12, sits in the Blue zone and school board district 4, lists a capacity of 2258, and fields the Jaguars (Port St. Lucie High profile). Its profile names the Cambridge AICE Diploma and dual enrollment among its academic programs, plus applied technology courses such as building construction, automotive technology and culinary arts.

Legacy High School at 14505 Crosstown Pkwy, Port St. Lucie, keeps the same 7:33 a.m. to 1:41 p.m. day, sits in the Red zone and board district 5, lists a capacity of 2000, and uses the Lion as its mascot (Legacy High profile). The Census geocoder did not return a match for its Crosstown Parkway address, which is why the table above lists it as near Port St. Lucie.

Federal enrollment counts for 2024-25 show Treasure Coast High at 1000 SW Darwin Blvd with 3,124 students, St. Lucie West Centennial High at 1485 SW Cashmere Blvd with 2,914, and Port St. Lucie High with 1,793 (NCES school search, page 2; NCES school search, page 1). High school students in Port St. Lucie apply only for a magnet program at Fort Pierce Westwood Academy or for an attractor program such as International Baccalaureate, the Embry Riddle Aerospace Academy or the Marine Oceanographic Academy; otherwise they attend the zone school (Student Assignment high school rules).

Several St. Lucie magnet schools take Port St. Lucie students countywide, Mosaic Digital Academy teaches online, and charter schools in Port St. Lucie enroll by application.

The district lists Creative Arts Academy of St. Lucie, Fort Pierce Westwood Academy, Lincoln Park Academy and Samuel S. Gaines Academy as countywide magnets, while Fairlawn Elementary draws from the Blue and Green zones and F. K. Sweet Elementary from the Red and Green zones (St. Lucie Public Schools school list). Magnet applications are available only at the Student Assignment Office, a parent may apply any time after the child receives a Social Security number, and students are assigned by the date of application.

Mosaic Digital Academy, which Port St. Lucie families can choose from home, is a K-12 virtual school for students whose primary residence is St. Lucie or Martin county, created in 2009 under Florida Statute 1002.45; it offers part-time and full-time options for grades 6 to 12 and full-time school for K-5, with local certified teachers (district school list, virtual schools). It earned an A in 2026 and in 2025 (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook). For students ages 16 to 22, the Performance Based Preparatory Academy offers a self-paced route to a standard diploma at (772) 468-5880.

Florida's controlled open enrollment law lets a parent from any district apply to a school with space, and each district and charter school must update capacity by grade level every 12 weeks and post it on its website (Florida Statutes 1002.31). Port St. Lucie charter schools, including the Somerset and Renaissance campuses, are public schools with their own applications; the Port St. Lucie charter schools guide lists each one with its 2026 grade.

Each Port St. Lucie school question below points to the fact that answers it and the Digital Towns guide that goes deeper.

Port St. Lucie grades in the table come from the state workbook (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades) and addresses and zones from the district profiles (Legacy High profile). The full list of Port St. Lucie school guides is linked below this answer.
