Clay County · local guide
Schools in Clay County, Florida
One district covers Orange Park, Middleburg, Green Cove Springs, Fleming Island, Keystone Heights and everything between them. Here is the whole roster in one place.
Clay County is where a lot of Jacksonville buyers end up once they run the numbers on space per dollar. It is also the county where I get the most questions about schools, partly because the district is small enough that people expect a simple answer and the geography refuses to give them one.
Green Cove Springs, Middleburg, Orange Park, Fleming Island and Keystone Heights are meaningfully different places. Commutes, lot sizes, flood exposure and school assignments all change as you move between them, and the county has been redrawing zones as new rooftops go in along the 23 corridor.
The list below is every Clay County public school in the state's 2024-25 file. It is organised by grade band rather than by town, because that is how families usually search once they have a child's age in mind.
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: Clay County District Schools.
- 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.
Elementary schools
Clay's elementary campuses are spread thinly across a large rural county, so the nearest school and the assigned school are not always the same building.
