Summary:

MacClenny, Florida, is home to four public schools within the Baker County School District, serving students from Pre-K through 8th grade, with no high schools located within the city limits. The standout performer is MacClenny Elementary School, which has earned a 4-star rating for three consecutive years and significantly outperforms both district and state averages, particularly in 3rd-grade math (93% proficiency vs. 66% statewide) and 5th-grade science (69% vs. 60%). In contrast, Legacy Elementary School and Baker County Middle School both hold 2-star ratings, with Legacy consistently falling below state proficiency rates, such as in 5th-grade math (47% vs. 62% statewide). The Prek/Kindergarten Center focuses on early childhood education and lacks standardized test scores for comparison.

Key metrics reveal stark contrasts between schools. MacClenny Elementary School boasts the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 21.3%, well below the district average of 31.1%, while Baker County Middle School faces a crisis with a 40.2% absenteeism rate, which likely drives its poor performance in 8th-grade math (41% vs. 61% state) and science (47% vs. 52% state). However, the middle school excels in Algebra 1 (79% vs. 63% state) and Civics (81% vs. 77% state), suggesting advanced students still achieve. Legacy Elementary School has the highest economic disadvantage rate at 53.69% and the lowest per-pupil spending at $9,499, while MacClenny Elementary School spends the most at $10,989 per student, with student-teacher ratios consistent across all schools (15.7 to 16.5).

Interesting findings highlight a "tale of two elementary schools": MacClenny Elementary School and Legacy Elementary School serve the same grades but have dramatically different outcomes, such as a 28-point gap in 3rd-grade ELA proficiency (78% vs. 50%). This disparity, combined with the middle school's high absenteeism, suggests that school leadership, parental involvement, and resource allocation play critical roles. For parents, MacClenny Elementary School is the clear top choice, while Baker County Middle School requires careful consideration due to its challenges, and Legacy Elementary School may need additional support to improve outcomes.
