Virgin Islands Department of Education, St. Croix District

The St. Croix District of the Virgin Islands Department of Education runs the island's public schools, and says its 1,043 employees serve more than 5,100 students from Pre-K through 12th grade. School assignment follows a redistricting map, posted for 2026-27, that shows which school serves each residential area, so check it before choosing a home. Children must be 4 by December 31 for Granny Pre-K and 5 by December 31 for kindergarten. A parent or guardian registers the child in person with original documents, including a birth certificate, a Social Security card, photo ID, school records, an immunization card and a health clearance from the Department of Health clinic. Owners prove their address with a deed, closing statement, tax receipt or WAPA bill; renters need a signed lease plus a WAPA bill, government document or rent receipt.
