Palatka FL schools and Putnam County assignment

Putnam County School District assignment for Palatka and East Palatka. Verify the parcel — a PUD marketing map is not a school assignment.

Last refreshed Oct 5, 2026

District

Public schools are Putnam County School District (putnamschools.org). Assignment is by address. East Palatka and Palatka are not always the same cluster; Interlachen and Crescent City are different high-school worlds entirely.

  • Palatka Jr.-Sr. High — the combined secondary campus in Palatka. Start time listed by the district around 9:00 a.m. for 2026–27 planning.
  • Palatka Intermediate School
  • William D. Moseley Elementary and other Palatka-area elementaries — confirm on the locator.
  • Crescent City Jr.-Sr. High and Middleton-Burney Elementary serve the south county / Crescent City area.
  • Children’s Reading Center Charter School is a district-listed charter option with different hours.

After high school

St. Johns River State College has a Palatka campus (the original campus). Dual enrollment and associate degrees are a real local path; Jacksonville and Gainesville universities are a drive, not a commute you make twice a day without planning.
