About the School

Our faculty and staff work collaboratively with students, parents, and the community to design and deliver a challenging curriculum that promotes academic acceleration and critical thinking skills. Students will learn social and emotional skills to help them as they advance in school and in life.

Stewart Street Elementary School is located in Quincy, Florida, a rural community approximately twenty-one miles west of Tallahassee, the state capital.  One of fifteen public schools in Gadsden County, Stewart Street was originally built in 1965 for grades 1-8.  The student population is composed of all elementary students within the boundaries south of Circle Drive on U. S. Highway 90, West to Lake Talquin Road 267, ranging south from Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. to Atlanta Street.  In order to accommodate school enrollment, the grade composition has changed several times.  Stewart Street presently serves grades Pre-K though 5th Grades, and houses the elementary Emotionally Handicapped population.  The student enrollment for the 2024-2025 school term is approximately 455.

The belief of our stake holders (parents, community, faculty and staff) is that all students can learn and that we will exert all our energies to assure the best possible learning experience for students who enter the doors of Stewart Street Elementary School.  Special services are provided for exceptional students, which include units for Pre Kindergarten Handicapped, Emotionally Handicapped (EH), Specific Learning Disability (SLD), and Speech and Language.

Two state universities, Florida Agriculture and Mechanical University and Florida State University are located 21 miles from Stewart Street Elementary School.  In addition, Tallahassee State College and Flagler College are also located in our neighboring county and offer support and resources to the school.  Interns from the universities receive field teaching experiences and volunteer in classrooms at Stewart Street. 

The social, academic, economic and cultural impact of the neighboring cities and institutions are advantageous in meeting the educational needs of the students.

Stewart Street Elementary School faculty and staff work cooperatively and collaboratively with students, parents, and the community. We will set high expectations and create a positive learning environment for students, faculty, and staff in order to enhance performance and promote the development of critical thinking skills. Our guiding principle this year is Exceeding Expectations Every day. It will allow students the opportunity to be provided with a challenging curriculum in a safe, non-threatening, and drug free environment. The use of modern technology will be a key component in the delivery of instruction by means of a high quality staff ,and innovative and research-based strategies.
