Schools in Nassau County, Florida
One district stretches from Amelia Island across to the Georgia line at Hilliard. The campuses, and what the state records about them, are below.
Nassau County is really three different places sharing one school district. There is the island — Fernandina Beach and Amelia — then the fast-growing middle around Yulee and Wildlight, and then the rural west out through Callahan, Bryceville and Hilliard.
Yulee is where most of the growth has landed. New elementary capacity has been added there in recent years and zone lines have moved with it, which makes this one of the few places in Northeast Florida where I would insist on re-checking the assignment even for a house you looked at last year.
Below is the full district roster from the state's 2024-25 file, grouped by grade band, with addresses, phone numbers 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: Nassau 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.

Yulee, Wildlight, Fernandina or out toward Callahan?
These are four very different buys at four different price points, and the school assignment is only one of the things that separates them. Tell me what matters most and I will lay the comparison out plainly.
