Summary

Mandarin High School in Jacksonville, FL, is a large public high school serving 2,343 students in grades 9-12 within the Duval County Public School District, and it stands out as a strong and stable performer in the area with a consistent 4-star rating from Schooldigger.

Mandarin High School’s biggest strengths are its exceptional graduation rate and strong English Language Arts (ELA) performance. The school boasts a 98.8% graduation rate for the 2024-2025 school year, significantly higher than both the district (94.3%) and state (92.2%) averages. In ELA, 72% of 10th graders are proficient, outperforming the Duval district average by 14 percentage points. The school also excels in US History, with 85% of students proficient. However, math is a notable area of concern, with Algebra 1 proficiency (51%) falling 12 points below the state average. Additionally, chronic absenteeism has nearly tripled over the past few years to 36.4%, though this is still better than the Duval district average of 44.8%.

When compared to nearby schools, Mandarin’s performance highlights a stark divide between Duval and the neighboring St. Johns County district. While Mandarin is a top-tier Duval school, it is academically overshadowed by schools like Creekside High School, where 10th-grade ELA proficiency is 89% and Geometry proficiency is 90% (versus Mandarin’s 52%). Mandarin achieves its strong results with relatively low spending of $8,055 per student, less than nearby Englewood High School ($8,814) and even less than high-performing St. Johns schools like Creekside ($9,112), suggesting efficient use of resources.
