Summary and Overall Rating
Devon Aire K–8 Center serves students from PreK through eighth grade in Ponte Vedra and is one of the district’s strongest performing public schools. It consistently achieves high proficiency rates, with over 80 percent in math and 78 percent in reading, and regularly earns A grades on performance reports and education platforms.
The school provides Gifted and Talented instruction, advanced STEAM opportunities, electives for middle grades, and a broad range of student clubs. However, it operates under district policies requiring staff to respect student chosen names and pronouns without parental opt out, along with mandatory LGBTQ inclusion training for teachers. From a traditional or faith-based perspective, the school receives a rating of 3.5 out of 10. While its academic strength and wide range of programs stand out, district identity protocols may concern families seeking limited exposure to identity topics.
