Schools in Baker County, Florida
Baker County runs one small district covering Macclenny, Glen St. Mary and the rural ground between them. Here is the whole list.
Baker County is one of the smallest districts in the state, and that shapes everything about schooling here. There are few enough campuses that most families know them all by name, and the whole county funnels toward one high school.
For buyers coming out from Jacksonville — which is most of the people I take to Macclenny — that is either the appeal or the adjustment. A small district means smaller cohorts, more community involvement and shorter lines. It also means fewer specialist programmes than Duval offers, and that trade-off is worth thinking about honestly before you move a child.
What follows is the state's own record of the public schools in Baker County for 2024-25, with addresses, phone numbers, websites where recorded, and the learning-gains percentages Florida publishes.
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: Baker County School District.
- 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.
