More schools are coming to St. Johns County, as the school district tries to find solutions helping relieve its overcrowded schools.
Today, members of the school board met with the St. Johns County Board of Commissioners to lay out five new K-8 schools coming to the county by the start of the 2026-2027 school year.K-8 School “NN”: set to open by August 2024; located in the Shearwater neighborhood with a capacity of 1500 students.
K-8 School “QQ”: set to open by August 2026; located in the Silverleaf neighborhood with a capacity of 1500 students. “We can’t keep up with ,” says Patrick Canan, a county school board member representing District 5, “We have a lot of disgruntled parents, a lot of frustration.”It’s one of the biggest hurdles for both the county and the school district. The school board says there isn’t as much money available from the state to fund its new schools as there’s been in the past. The board says it’s now having to rely on local sources, like property and sales taxes, to cover the cost.
But while the county’s growth is fueling the need for schools, some parents say the teachers should be put first.
