GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I loved how much the teachers in the IB program care and empathize with you. They understand I'm juggling many things for my IB diploma and minimize stress with forgiving deadlines. They are the best part of this school.

Pedro was awesome! I started my sophomore year as I was home schooled before then! Teachers and staff made adapting to HS Very easy and fun! I made a lot of good friends! They also introduced me to the collegiate program which gave me a huge head start on life and I am currently filling out the application for my UNF bill! Overall I loved my time at Pedro and it will hold a special place in my heart. So the collegiate program was definitely the best experience I had there. My worst experience would probably be a fire arm alarm went off I was scared but Pedro handled the situation and no one was hurt. But I was definitely more aware of that fear. If I could change one thing it would be the ASL department it has had a lot of ups and downs and they have lost a few good teachers and because Saint Augustine is a very good place to learn asl I would love to see the ASL department revamped! So that other kids can enjoy the experience of learning ASL!!!

Teacher get mad when you ask questions/ are confused. Problematic teachers and students don't get me wrong there are some nice teachers but the staff in general do not care about your experience or health issues in this school.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I’m not sure how the school has not yet been reprimanded for their lack of concern with students education and communication with parents. The principal seems to think laughing at concerns are better than addressing them. If you’re moving to the area, DO NOT send you...
