Summary

Fleming Island Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school in Orange Park, Florida, serving 659 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Clay District, which is ranked 17th out of 67 districts in the state.

Fleming Island Elementary consistently outperforms the Clay District and the state of Florida in standardized test scores, with 88% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Statewide Science/Science compared to 61% for the district and 55% for the state. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 23.67% in 2023-2024, compared to higher rates at many nearby schools. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 31.4% in 2023-2024, though still performing better than the state average.

While Fleming Island Elementary outperforms most nearby schools, there are a few, such as Robert M. Paterson Elementary and Thunderbolt Elementary, that also demonstrate strong performance, suggesting that factors beyond just resources may contribute to academic success. The school's leadership and the Clay District should continue to monitor and address areas for improvement, such as chronic absenteeism and equity considerations, to ensure all students have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
