Summary

S Bryan Jennings Elementary School in Orange Park, FL, is a PK-6 public school serving 492 students within the highly-rated Clay County School District, though it faces significant challenges due to a high poverty rate of nearly 80% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 28.8%.

This school presents a mixed picture for parents. While it has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.7:1 and spends more per student ($12,010) than nearby top performers like Orange Park Elementary School ($9,608), its academic outcomes are far lower. The most striking comparison is with Orange Park Elementary, a 5-star school just 2.65 miles away with a 35% poverty rate and 7.9% chronic absenteeism. S. Bryan Jennings has a 3-star rating and has plateaued in the 52nd-56th percentile range for the last three years after recovering from pandemic-era lows. Academic performance is inconsistent across grades—4th and 6th grade math are strong (72% and 71% proficient), while 3rd and 5th grade math lag behind district averages. However, 5th grade science is a consistent bright spot, outperforming both district and state averages for three consecutive years.

The school's high chronic absenteeism rate (28.8%) is notably higher than nearby Oakleaf Village Elementary School (20.7%) and significantly higher than Orange Park Elementary (7.9%). This persistent issue, combined with high poverty, likely dilutes the impact of the school's resources and low student-teacher ratio. On a positive note, 6th grade math has been exceptionally strong for four years running, suggesting an effective teacher or program at that grade level. For parents considering this school, the key takeaway is that while S. Bryan Jennings invests heavily in its students, overcoming the challenges of absenteeism and economic disadvantage remains an ongoing struggle, though pockets of excellence in science and 6th grade math offer hope.

This is a small neighborhood school. It feels like family there. The teachers get to know the kids and their families. I wouldn’t take my child anywhere else. Close Quote
