Summary

San Jose Elementary School in Jacksonville, FL, is a large PK-5 school in the Duval district serving 937 students, and it has historically faced significant academic challenges, currently ranking in the 11th percentile statewide with a 1-star rating.

One of the most important things to know about San Jose Elementary is that it has a unique academic profile compared to nearby schools. While its overall performance is low, math is a relative strength: 3rd-grade math proficiency (58%) is nearly on par with the district average (61%), and 4th-grade math (56%) is close as well. However, English Language Arts (ELA) scores are a major concern, with 3rd-grade ELA proficiency at just 28%—less than half the math score. This "math-strong, ELA-weak" pattern is distinct among low-performing schools in the area. For context, River City Science Elementary Academy, just 3.26 miles away, serves a similar demographic but achieves dramatically different results, ranking in the 89th percentile with 77% ELA proficiency. This comparison shows that high poverty does not have to dictate low performance.

Chronic absenteeism is a severe issue at San Jose Elementary, with a rate of 42.4% for the 2023-2024 school year—meaning over two out of every five students miss 10% or more of the school year. This is significantly higher than the state average of 31.4% and is a primary barrier to student success. On a positive note, the school spends $8,999 per student, the lowest among comparable nearby schools like Love Grove Elementary ($15,120) and Greenfield Elementary ($12,127), yet its state ranking is comparable to or better than some schools that spend much more. While there has been a slight upward trend from a low of the 4th percentile in 2015-2016, progress remains fragile, and the most recent data shows a step back from the previous year.
