Summary

Lake Asbury Elementary School in Green Cove Springs, FL, serves 935 students in grades PK-6 and is part of the highly-rated Clay County School District, which ranks in the top 25% of Florida districts. This school stands out for its exceptional performance in upper elementary grades, particularly in 6th-grade math where 94% of students were proficient in 2023-2024—a remarkable 38 points above the state average—and in 5th-grade science, where 72% of students were proficient in the most recent data, outperforming nearby schools like Tynes Elementary School (63%) and Coppergate Elementary School (54%).

Despite a slight downward trend in its overall state ranking over the past few years, recent test scores show a strong rebound, with 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency jumping from 54% to 66% and 5th-grade science from 60% to 72% in the latest data. The school serves a moderately affluent population, with 46.84% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch—the lowest rate among its immediate peers, compared to Ridgeview Elementary School (66.05%) and Middleburg Elementary School (65.4%). Interestingly, Lake Asbury achieves these strong results with relatively low spending per student ($10,421), which is less than what some lower-performing nearby schools spend.

One area for attention is a "4th-grade slump," where proficiency in both ELA (63%) and math (64%) lags behind other grades and the district average. Additionally, chronic absenteeism, while better than the state average at 23.2%, remains a persistent challenge since the pandemic. A fascinating comparison is Shadowlawn Elementary School, just 2.1 miles away, which despite having a higher free/reduced lunch rate (59.14%), consistently outperforms Lake Asbury in overall state rankings, particularly in early grades with 88% proficiency in 3rd-grade ELA and 91% in 3rd-grade math—suggesting potential strategies Lake Asbury could explore to boost its own primary-grade performance.
