St. Lucie West K-8 School

For 2025-26 the state graded St. Lucie West K-8 School a B, with 62 percent of possible points, after an A in 2025.

The FLDOE workbook, as of September 1, 2026, lists the Cashmere Boulevard campus as school 0131 in district 56 and gives it 619 total points across 10 components, with 99 percent of eligible students tested (FLDOE 2025-26 grades workbook, St. Lucie West K-8 row). Its School Type entry is 04, which the workbook legend defines as Combination.

Combination schools are graded on the high school scale in the workbook note: an A needs 65% of points or greater, a B covers 60% to 64% and a C covers 45% to 59% (FLDOE scale note, 2025-26 workbook). On that scale the St. Lucie West K-8 figure of 62 falls in the B band.

The same Cashmere Boulevard entry lists YES under Title I, NO under charter school and 68 as the economically disadvantaged percentage (FLDOE 2025-26 grades workbook, St. Lucie West K-8 row).

Because St. Lucie West K-8 teaches grades 6 through 8 as well as grade 3, Florida law adds a middle school acceleration measure and a third grade reading measure to its grade.

For a school with middle grades 6 through 8, section 1008.34 scores the percentage of eligible students who pass a high school level statewide end-of-course exam or attain a national industry certification on the CAPE Industry Certification Funding List (section 1008.34, Florida Statutes). That is the column where the Port St. Lucie K-8 posted 90 in 2026 (FLDOE 2025-26 grades workbook, St. Lucie West K-8 row).

Because its grades run through 8, St. Lucie West K-8 falls under section 1003.4156, which says each school that includes middle grades must make available at least one high school level math course in which students can earn high school credit (section 1003.4156, Florida Statutes).

On the elementary side, the school's parent resources link two separate student progression plans, one for elementary grades and one for middle grades (St. Lucie West K-8 website). Those linked plans are the kind of document section 1008.25 requires of each district school board: a comprehensive plan for student progression from one grade to another based on mastery of the state standards (section 1008.25, Florida Statutes).

The St. Lucie West K-8 row shows A grades from 2006 through 2012 and in 2018, 2019 and 2025, and B in the 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2026 columns.

Each letter is copied from the St. Lucie West K-8 entry, which has a blank 2021 cell and, like the rest of the file, no 2020 column (FLDOE 2025-26 grades workbook, St. Lucie West K-8 row). Two columns, 2015 and 2023, are headed Informational Baseline Grade in the workbook, so those letters stand apart from the regular grades.

A dated state honor sits outside the grade record: an FDOE news item dated January 9, 2017 names St. Lucie West K-8 School with the St. Lucie schools that earned the Five Star School Award for 2015-16 (FDOE news item on 2015-16 Five Star schools).

The St. Lucie West K-8 About Us page says the school places a strong emphasis on reading, writing and technology, with student computer workstations and supervised Internet access in each classroom.

The same page says the Port St. Lucie school offers a variety of academic and elective courses and gives its motto as Offering an Ocean of Learning Opportunities (St. Lucie West K-8 About Us page). The site splits its faculty pages into Elementary Teachers and Middle School Teachers, and its parent resources include K-5 Beanstack instructions, iReady letters in English and Spanish, Right to Know notices in Creole, English and Spanish, the dress code and the code of conduct (St. Lucie West K-8 website).

The district profile invites families to volunteer, become a business partner or join the PTO, and links a Safe Routes to School PDF and the school improvement plan (St. Lucie West K-8 district profile).

A new Shark gets a seat through Student Assignment in 2 steps, an online zone application and then registration at the school once assigned (Student Assignment, St. Lucie Public Schools).
