Allapattah Flats K-8 School

Allapattah Flats K-8, a St. Lucie Public Schools campus on NW Copper Creek Drive near Port St. Lucie, earned an A for 2025-26 with 70 percent of possible points.

The Florida Department of Education lists the school as number 0151 in district 56 and classifies it as school type 04, the code its legend gives to combination schools. Its row shows 703 total points across 10 components and 99 percent of students tested (FLDOE 2025-26 School Grades workbook, Allapattah Flats row). Because the campus is graded as a combination school rather than an elementary or middle school, the cutoffs that apply are the high and combination scale in the workbook note: 65 percent or more for an A, 60 to 64 percent for a B and 45 to 59 percent for a C (FLDOE grading scale note).

Each value above is copied from the Allapattah Flats cells of the state workbook in its own column order (FLDOE workbook, school 0151 cells). The row fills both the social studies column (86) and the middle school acceleration column (94), and its Total Components cell reads 10.

The Allapattah Flats row in the state file begins with a C in the Grade 2008 column and ends with A letters in both the 2025 and 2026 columns.

Columns from 1999 through 2007 are empty for this school, the 2021 cell is blank, and the workbook has no 2020 column at all; the 2015 and 2023 letters sit in columns the state labels informational baseline grades (FLDOE workbook, Allapattah Flats letter columns).

State law attaches a plain meaning to each letter: an A marks a school making excellent progress, a B above average progress and a C satisfactory progress (section 1008.34, Florida Statutes). The district profile links to a School Grade and Testing Results page and the School Improvement Plan (Allapattah Flats K-8 profile, Academics links).

Florida's grading statute lists social studies achievement among its components and sets the acceleration measure for schools comprised of middle grades 6 through 8 or grades 7 and 8, and the row for this PreK-8 campus near Port St. Lucie fills both.

Section 1008.34 lists the percentage of eligible students passing statewide social studies assessments among the achievement components, and for schools comprised of middle grades 6 through 8 or grades 7 and 8 it counts the percentage of eligible students passing high school level statewide, standardized end of course assessments or attaining national industry certifications identified in the CAPE Industry Certification Funding List (section 1008.34, school grading components). That second measure is the column the FLDOE workbook heads Middle School Acceleration, where the Allapattah Flats cell reads 94 (FLDOE workbook, column O).

The same statute lists the percentage of students in the lowest 25 percent in mathematics who make learning gains as a separate component. In the Allapattah Flats row that math measure is 66, while the English Language Arts measure for the lowest 25 percent is 53 (FLDOE workbook, columns I and L). The workbook header notes that its grades are as of September 1, 2026 (FLDOE workbook title cell).

Allapattah Flats K-8 sits at 12051 NW Copper Creek Drive with a Port St. Lucie, FL 34987 mailing address, and the district assigns it to the Red zone and School Board District 5.

The district profile gives the main phone as (772) 468-5050 and the fax as (772) 468-5013 (St. Lucie Public Schools profile, Allapattah Flats). The school's own site footer writes the street as 12051 Copper Creek Drive without the NW prefix and repeats the same phone and fax lines (Allapattah Flats K-8 website, contact block). The federal school locator records the address as 12051 NW COPPER CREEK DR in St. Lucie County (NCES public school search, Allapattah Flats).

According to Student Assignment, elementary and middle schools in the district fall into three zones split by Midway Road and Florida's Turnpike, and the Red Zone covers the area south of Midway Road and west of the Turnpike (St. Lucie Public Schools Student Assignment). The same page says the zone lines include portions of Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie.

NCES counts 1,347 students in grades PK-8 at Allapattah Flats for 2024-25, and the district profile lists the building's capacity as 1748.

The enrollment figure is the Students column of the federal locator entry (NCES school search result). The district profile gives the grade span as PreK-8, the mascot as the Gator and the school colors as green and yellow (Allapattah Flats profile, General Information).

In the FLDOE file the school is marked Title I, is not a charter school and is not an alternative or ESE center, and its column for the percent of economically disadvantaged students reads 62 (FLDOE workbook, columns AY to BC). The school's document list includes a VPK-8 Student and Family Handbook (Allapattah Flats website, Documents).

General Information on the district profile carries the bell times, and its After School Care entry names the Boys and Girls Clubs, (772) 398-0291 (Allapattah Flats profile, hours and after school care). The school website posts links for the school meal application and school bus registration, a dress code, a parent compact and a school supply list, and it uses its news page to announce School Advisory Council meeting dates (Allapattah Flats K-8 website).

Allapattah Flats runs a School Advisory Council that announces its meetings on the school news page, and section 1001.452 of Florida law sets the rules every such council follows.

The school posted its council meeting schedule for the year on its news page in August 2026, with every meeting set for 1:15 p.m. (Allapattah Flats K-8 website, SAC Dates post). Under the statute, the council is the sole body responsible for final decisionmaking at the school on the school improvement plan, and it is composed of the principal and an appropriately balanced number of teachers, education support employees, students, parents and other business and community citizens who are representative of the community the school serves; a majority of members must not be employees of the school district (section 1001.452, Florida Statutes).

The same section requires each council to adopt bylaws that set a quorum rule, under which a majority of the membership constitutes a quorum, and that give members at least 3 days of written notice of any matter scheduled for a vote (section 1001.452, council bylaws). The state's school grades page, where the Allapattah Flats workbook is posted, also carries a guide to calculating school grades and a grading scale changes overview updated September 8, 2026 (FLDOE School Grades page).

Last verified: October 22, 2026, with the Allapattah Flats row of the state grades file, its district profile, the school website, the NCES entry, the Student Assignment page, the state school grades page and sections 1001.452 and 1008.34 all read again that day.
