Summary

Plantation Oaks Elementary School in Orange Park, FL, serves 915 students in grades PK through 6 and is part of the highly-rated Clay County School District, though it has recently experienced a significant decline in its state ranking from a 4-star to a 2-star school.

This school is at a crossroads, with several key challenges that set it apart from nearby schools. Most notably, Plantation Oaks has seen a sharp drop in performance, falling from the 74th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 48th percentile in 2025-2026—the largest decline among its immediate peers. A particular concern is a "4th-grade slump" in both math and English Language Arts (ELA), where proficiency rates (47% in math and 54% in ELA) are the lowest among all Clay County elementary schools in the comparison group. This is especially striking when compared to Discovery Oaks Elementary, located just over a mile away, which outperforms Plantation Oaks in nearly every subject despite serving a similar-sized student body with less funding per student ($8,717 vs. $10,878). Additionally, chronic absenteeism remains a persistent issue at 22.7%, higher than at Oakleaf Village Elementary School (20.7%) and Discovery Oaks Elementary (17.4%).

Despite these challenges, there are bright spots. Plantation Oaks shows a clear strength in 5th-grade science, with 66% of students proficient—matching the district average and exceeding the state average. This success provides a model for what effective instruction can look like and could be replicated in other subjects. While the school's recent decline is notable, it remains a significantly better option than nearby schools in the Duval County district, such as Duval Charter School At Westside and Westview K-8, which have extremely high chronic absenteeism rates. For parents, the key areas to watch are how the school addresses its 4th-grade slump, reduces chronic absenteeism, and ensures its higher spending translates into better outcomes for all students.
