Duval and St. Johns counties · local guide
Schools at the Jacksonville Beaches
Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Jacksonville Beach sit in Duval. Ponte Vedra sits in St. Johns. The county line runs right through the beach, and it changes everything about schooling.
The beaches look like one continuous strip when you drive A1A, and for most purposes they behave like one. Schools are the exception. The Duval–St. Johns county line cuts across the beach south of Jacksonville Beach, and it puts homes a few minutes apart into two entirely separate school districts.
That single fact drives a large share of the price difference along this stretch of coast, and it is the first thing I check when a buyer sends me a beach address. Two districts means two sets of boundaries, two application processes for choice programmes, and two different offices to call.
The list below covers the public schools carrying an Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach or Ponte Vedra address in the state's 2024-25 file. Each entry shows which county it sits in, because at the beaches that is the detail that matters most.
Read this before you shortlist a house on schools
This page lists schools by where the school building is, not by which homes it serves. Attendance zones are drawn by the school district, they are redrawn from time to time, and two houses on the same street can sit in different zones.
- Confirm the current zone for the exact address with the school district before you make an offer: Duval County Public Schools, St. Johns County School District.
- Magnet, charter, choice, virtual and private schools do not follow the residential zone at all — each has its own application and eligibility rules.
- Learning-gains percentages are a single year from one state dataset. They are not a school grade and they are not advice.
Fair-housing note: schools are described here in factual terms only. Choosing where to live is yours to make.
