Summary

Mayport Elementary School in Atlantic Beach, FL, serves 429 students in grades PK through 5 and is part of the Duval school district. This mid-sized school has consistently earned a 3-star rating from Schooldigger, placing it in the middle of the pack statewide, though it has seen a decline from its peak 4-star performance in the 2017-2018 school year.

One of the most notable aspects of Mayport Elementary is how it compares to nearby schools. While it is a solidly average school statewide, it is one of the lower-performing schools in its immediate area. For example, nearby Atlantic Beach Elementary and San Pablo Elementary both hold 5-star ratings and consistently outperform Mayport in test scores. In the 2025-2026 school year, Mayport's 5th-grade Math proficiency was 54%, significantly lower than Neptune Beach Elementary (80%) and Alimacani Elementary (88%). Interestingly, Mayport spends more per student ($13,502) than these higher-performing neighbors and has a lower student-teacher ratio (13.4), suggesting that financial resources alone are not the issue.

The most critical challenge facing Mayport Elementary is its high rate of chronic absenteeism, which peaked at 51.3% in the 2021-2022 school year. While it has improved to 36.6% in 2023-2024, this rate remains higher than most nearby schools and the state average (31.4%). This absenteeism crisis appears to be a root cause of the school's academic struggles, as performance has shown signs of recovery as absenteeism has decreased. On a positive note, Mayport has demonstrated a consistent strength in 5th-grade Science, outperforming both district and state averages for the last three years. This bright spot suggests that the school has effective instructional practices that could be applied to other subjects to help close the performance gap with its higher-achieving neighbors.
