The file sets a C for middle schools at 44% to 56% of points.

Attendance zone and feeder schools

Check any address with the district’s School Zone Locator, or see the district’s middle school zoning map. Zones do not follow city limits.

Of the 153,244 St. Petersburg address points in Pinellas County’s address layer, 33,817 (22.1%) fall inside the Meadowlawn zone on that map.

The district does not publish a feeder list. Comparing its zoning maps (the middle and high school maps were first drawn for 2012-13; the elementary map is for 2026-27), the city addresses in this zone fall in these zones:

  • Elementary school: Shore Acres (26%), John M. Sexton (21%), Sawgrass Lake (19%), Lynch (17%), North Shore (11%) and Woodlawn (7%).
  • High school: Northeast (85%) and St. Petersburg (15%).

The district’s Planning for Progress recommendations, up for a School Board vote at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13, do not change the Meadowlawn zone, but they would reshape the elementary schools in it for 2027-28:

  • John M. Sexton Elementary would close at the end of 2026-27, its zone split between Lynch and Woodlawn. At its Oct. 6 workshop the board also looked at closing Woodlawn and keeping Sexton open.
  • Lynch and Sawgrass Lake would trade a small area of their zones.

Nearby Mangrove Bay Middle is a district application school, not a zoned one.
