SLPS outpaced the State in most areas where assessment improvements were recorded.  Particularly, impressive statistical outcomes were seen in multiple grade levels in reading, math, and science.  The district continues to close the gap with the State in tested areas as evidenced by the Spring 2024 results.

Superintendent Dr. Jon R. Prince stated, "Overall, we are very pleased with the gains made by our students this year. St. Lucie Public Schools improved its performance in all tested areas and many of those improvements were significant. The school district noted a 5% increase in Reading and a 5% increase in Math across all grade levels. Science, Biology, and U.S. History also showed increases in student scores. I am proud of these improvements which exceeded our expectations. I want to recognize and thank our student and staff for their diligence and hard work.”
